In a bid to safeguard the environment and combat the pressing challenges of climate change, the Uganda Golf Club (UGC) in Kitante hosted a grand fundraising gala over the weekend.
The event, dubbed “Save the Lungs of the City,” brought together golfers and non-golfers alike for an evening of jazz music and environmental advocacy.
The gala featured a captivating performance by renowned Ugandan singer Maurice Kirya and the Kampala Jazz Orchestra.
Their melodious tunes provided a delightful backdrop for the evening, entertaining the crowd while raising awareness about the importance of environmental conservation.
Proceeds from the event will be directed towards various initiatives championed by the UGC to protect the climate.
These initiatives include sensitization campaigns, capacity-building programs, and practical measures to reduce the club’s environmental footprint.
The “Save the Lungs of the City” campaign underscores the critical role of sports in promoting human welfare and addressing environmental challenges.
By fostering a healthier and greener environment, the UGC aims to create a sustainable future for generations to come.
The gala received significant support from both private and public entities, demonstrating a growing commitment to environmental conservation in Uganda.
With the resources raised through this event, the UGC can expand its efforts to educate the public and implement practical solutions to combat climate change.
