UnLtd’s annual Golf Open events in Melbourne and Sydney raise over $285k for youth at risk

UnLtd’s annual golf gala held in Sydney and for the first time in Melbourne as well, has raised $285,700 for youth at risk, with Twitch and QMS taking home the winning titles.

Over 60 teams competed across the two events that brought the entire industry together for some friendly competition and to raise funds for UnLtd’s charity partners.

The UnLtd Open expanded to Melbourne for the first time and was held at the Kew Golf Club. QMS took home the maiden title with Seven West Media coming in close behind.

Sydney players teed off, for the first event of 2022, at St Michael’s Golf Club with Twitch ultimately taking home the winning prize and reigning champions QMS being pipped into second place.

Across both states, golfers were treated to a number of activations along the course, including music zones by ARN and Nova, winter Olympics inspired frosés by Seven West Media, a Foxtel Media and Brown Brothers wine tasting, a Gelato Messina pop up from Yahoo! and a Titleist pack giveaway from Integral Ad Solutions.

UnLtd thanks presenting sponsors oOh!media and Integral Ad Science, in addition to the activation sponsors; Australian Community Media, ARN, Foxtel Media, Meta, Network 10, Nine, Nova, REA Group, SWM, TLA Worldwide, Val Morgan, and Yahoo, and all playing teams.
