The event, hosted at Laranjal Golf Club, brought together golfers, local businesses and community members for a memorable day of fundraising, camaraderie and support for a vital cause. The remarkable total raised will directly benefit the Algarve Oncology Association and its work supporting individuals and families affected by cancer throughout the Algarve.

A special acknowledgement is extended to Quinta do Lago, the event’s principal sponsor, whose support played a significant role in the success of the day. The organisers also wish to thank the many businesses and individuals who donated prizes, vouchers and raffle items, helping to create an enjoyable experience for participants while maximising fundraising opportunities.

Speaking after the event, Nigel Wilson, Captain of Laranjal Golf Club, said:

“We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved through this year’s Captain’s Charity Event. Raising €120,000 is an exceptional result and would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors, particularly Quinta do Lago, as well as the many businesses, participants and volunteers who supported us. Together, we have made a meaningful contribution to a cause that touches so many lives.”

Dr Maria de Lurdes Santos Pereira, President at the Algarve Oncology Association, added:

“We are deeply grateful to Nigel, Laranjal Golf Club, Quinta do Lago and everyone who contributed to this remarkable achievement. The funds raised will help us continue to provide essential support, guidance, and assistance to cancer patients and their families throughout the Algarve. This generosity will make a real and lasting difference to the lives of many people facing challenging circumstances.”

The Algarve Oncology Association expressed its gratitude for the fundraising efforts, noting that the funds will help support its ongoing programmes, services and assistance for cancer patients and their families across the region.

The success of the event reflects the strength of the Algarve community and its commitment to supporting charitable initiatives that make a lasting difference. Organisers hope to build on this success and continue supporting important local causes through future fundraising events.
