NASSAU, The Bahamas – For a fifth consecutive year, RF Bank & Trust (RF) has joined forces with the Rotary Club of East Nassau (RCEN) and the Scout Association of The Bahamas (SAB) to execute one of the nation’s longest standing community fundraising efforts. The 39th Annual Charity Golf Tournament—slated for Monday 20 April 2026 at The Ocean Club Golf Course—will see dozens of golfers take to the fairway in support of transformative community programmes.
To date, the Charity Golf Tournament has raised nearly $4 million for community organisations across The Bahamas. Beneficiaries include the Ranfurly Homes for Children, the Bahamas Association for the Physically Disabled, Project Read, the Fox Hill Run Feeding Programme, the Cancer Society, and many more.
“As President of RCEN, it’s always a pleasure to see great corporate citizens like RF supporting our institution and Rotary as a whole,” said Rafique Symonette. “We’re delighted to have RF serve as title sponsor again this year. Support from RF has a huge impact on our fundraising annually and it really shows their commitment to community and the broader nation.”
The Charity Golf Tournament is RCEN’s largest fundraising event, supporting projects aligned with Rotary International’s seven focus areas: peacebuilding and conflict prevention; disease prevention and treatment; water, sanitation, and hygiene; maternal and child health; basic education and literacy; community economic development; and supporting the environment.
“RCEN has positively impacted countless Bahamian communities over the decades and so it’s a pleasure to partner with them again this year for their signature fundraiser,” said RF Regional Events Supervisor Christopher Adderley. “We’re proud to be golfing for good and giving back to the communities we call home.”
Interested golfers, sponsors, and volunteers are invited to join this year’s tournament to help RCEN continue its vital work across The Bahamas.
