8. IWA Annual Golf Fundraising Day  (14th March 2023)

Castle Hill Country Club

“GOOD FUND FOR A GOOD CAUSE”

This event is a great opportunity to enjoy a fun day out on the golf course, while supporting a worthy cause, celebrating 25 years of IWA serving our community.
The fund raised through this event are crucial for ensuring that IWA’s programs can continue to run smoothly, especially for those are isolated due to language barriers.
As a non-profit organisation, IWA always needs moral and financial support from the wider community. Currently IWA lacks infrastructure and is often dependent on Councils support.
So, it is very important to support IWA as it continues to serve and support the Indonesian community in Australia.
