The Murcia-based Mar Menor Frolic Golf Society, located at the Mar Menor Golf Resort, has raised money for two local charities with its fundraisers this year, with over 2,000 euros being donated this week to a worthy charity that supports underprivileged children through the power of football.

The Mar Menor Frolic Golf Society, captained by Jill Leonard, has been running a fund raiser for local charities this year and the two charities chosen to benefit from their efforts are the Evangélico Fútbol Club in Cartagena and MABS cancer charity in San Javier.

Jill says, “I had the privilege of going along to the Fútbol Club on Tuesday evening to see them in action and to present them with 2,300 euros.”

As Jill explains, “The club caters for children from 4 to 16 who come from underprivileged families. They are referred to this club from Social Services. The Charity was set up by Joaquín Cegarra Jerez, a Pastor.

“All the helpers donate their time and the children go straight from school. They must do their homework first and then they are allowed to take part in football training. This is for girls and boys.

“They have their kit provided and this is collected at the end of a very dusty football session, washed and dried and ready for the following day. The club holds sessions from Monday to Friday and it was an absolute joy to see the younger ones particularly playing with such enthusiasm.”

The Mar Menor Frolic Golf Society continues to hold fundraisers to donate much-needed money to worthy causes in the local Murcia area. To join and play with the Golf Society or make a donation, use the contact form below.
