Sponsorship opportunities are available, offering companies a chance to showcase their commitment to social responsibility while engaging with the Cork business community. Businesses interested in registering a team or becoming a sponsor are encouraged to act quickly, as spaces are limited.
Lorraine Egan is CEO of Horizons. She said: “Events like the golf classic are vital to maintaining the important services we provide to so many people across Cork city and county. Every swing plays a role in bringing a person we support closer to living an independent life of their choosing. I would like to thank everyone who has supported the Horizons Golf Classic over the last 30 years and I look forward to seeing new faces as well as our regular golfers in June.”
