The Annual Coleman Greig Charity Golf Day
Riverside Oaks Golf Resort, Cattai
Since 1997, in conjunction with The Hills Shire Council's Orange Blossom Festival, Coleman Greig at Parramatta has been involved in raising funds for St Gabriel's School through their Annual Charity Golf Day.
In recognition of the role Coleman Greig plays in raising funds for local charities, the firm was the winner of the 2008 Regional Excellence, Outstanding Community Contribution category at the 2008 Western Sydney Industry Awards.
Since inception over $500,000 has been raised to support many valuable resources and therapy for children at St Gabriel's. In the early years the funds were used to provide resources such as books, toys and puzzles for the children. As the Golf Day began to grow in popularity and the funds increased, they were used towards supporting the school to significantly fund a wide variety of programs and specialized resources for children with special education needs.

15th Annual Coleman Greig Charity Golf Day, 19 September 2011
The 15th Annual Coleman Greig Charity Golf Day was held at Riverside Oaks in Cattai on Monday, 19 September 2011. With sunny skies overhead, panoramic views and fundraising events throughout the day, the 137 golfers rallied together in support of St Gabriel’s. The golfers, made up of local businesses from throughout the Parramatta/Hills region, were extremely generous with their time and wallets to raise much needed funds for our school.
During the opening proceedings some of our children performed two songs which enchanted the players before they tee’d off. The golfers then enjoyed 18 holes of golf followed by a fundraising dinner in the evening hosted by Mike Whitney as the MC.
The golf day was a truly wonderful event for our school and we are so lucky to have the continued support of so many people including Coleman Greig, Ray Millers from the Hills Shire Council and several parents of the school, particularly Steve Rowe, Fiona Harper, Selina and David Emanuel, Jackie de Silva and Annette and Colin Whitehorn, to all of whom we would like to say a big thank you.
For details of all the sponsors and prizes on offer, take a look at the program.
St Gabriel's School sincerely thanks the organising committee, all the sponsors, but particularly the Major Sponsors: Coleman Greig; Bing Lee; Castle Hill Toyota; Lexus of Parramatta; Smada Electrical; Superb Electronics; Tranquility Homes; Avenue Capital; Case Constructions; Bearcat Tyres and Castle Towers and all the players for an outstanding fundraising event.
We look forward to seeing you all again in 2012 for the 16th Annual Coleman Greig Charity Golf Day!
