More than 100 golfers are expected to participate in the Foundation for Cancer Care’s third yearly charity golf tournament, tagged Swing Against Cancer Golf Day, tomorrow, at the golf section of Ikoyi Club.

The organisers said that the event is aimed at raising awareness about the ailment, with survivors, supporters, and advocates united by a shared commitment to fight cancer through golf.

According to the organisers, this year’s event aims to raise funds for two key initiatives: the acquisition of a state-of-the-art mobile cancer screening bus, and the provision of radiotherapy treatments for patients who lack access to adequate healthcare.

The participating golfers will battle in teams of four in a spirited team format, with cancer survivors among the participants.

Leading the lineup is the event’s star attraction, Farooq Oreagba, fondly known as “King Steeze.”

Oreagba is a cancer survivor and passionate advocate for awareness, whose involvement in the tournament is expected to inspire participants and spectators alike, highlighting the importance of survivorship and the transformative power of support.
