8 th Annual Deaf Reach Golf Tournament – Karachi In Support of Deaf Education.

Deaf Reach hosted their 8 th Annual Charity Golf Tournament in support of Deaf Education on
Sunday, February 12th, 2023 at DHA Golf & Country Club.
The proceeds from the tournament help to sponsor the education and skills training of 1,500
deaf students enrolled in the eight Deaf Reach Schools & Colleges across Sindh and Punjab.
Over 130 golfers participated in the 18-hole Texas Scramble tournament. Platinum sponsorship
was by KFC, Gold sponsorship by IGI Life, and Silver sponsors included Jubilee Life Insurance,
Habib Metro, Engro Foundation, and HMR Waterfront.
Darren Sammy, the famous West Indies cricketer in Karachi for a PSL match, had fun playing 18
holes and learning some sign language from the students along the way. “I’m so impressed with
the work being done by Deaf Reach,” he said. “They are doing an amazing job, and have my
wholehearted support!”
To close the event, the players along with friends and supporters of Deaf Reach were hosted at
a Luncheon and Award Ceremony. The students of Deaf Reach School opened the ceremony
with the National Anthem, followed by a meaningful drama illustrating the importance of
inclusion and working together in unity – all done in sign language! The students then
presented trophies and prizes to the winners.
Richard Geary thanked the audience and corporate sponsors saying, “This event and the funds
raised is the result of many people unselfishly contributing their time and support to make a
real difference in the lives of the children whom we serve. Thank you all.”
