The Cayman Islands Institute of Professional Accountants Charity Golf Tournament last month raised $9,000 for a pair of local nonprofits.

Twenty-two teams registered for the event, which is an annual fundraiser aligning with CIIPA’s strategic objectives and goal of proactively developing avenues for membership engagement in the community.

“CIIPA members have once again answered the call to give back,” CIIPA Chief Executive Officer Sheree Ebanks said. “It’s important for us to provide information and resources for our membership to engage in volunteerism. The money raised will go a long way in helping support organisations aiming to strengthen the community through bettering the lives of Cayman’s youth.”

CIIPA donated $7,500 to YMCA of the Cayman Islands and $1,500 to the Children and Youth Services (CAYS) Foundation, a government-run organisation aimed at providing 24-hour residential care for at-risk children.

The golf tournament is organised by CIIPA’s Social Committee. PwC won the team title.
