The island’s most popular golf tournament, unfolded on the award-winning Tierra Del Sol Golf Course, which recently reopened after an extensive makeover and total reconstruction. The annual tournament, organized here for the seventeenth time, is a fund raiser supporting community causes. It is offered by Arion Wine Company in conjunction with California’s Wente Vineyards, and a number of generous local sponsors.
For the 2025 edition, the tournament signed up 84 players, for a fun two-person scramble format. The funds collected were earmarked for Plan di Mayor, a foundation prioritizing child well-being, helping parents navigate the intricacies of separation or divorce. The foundation provides compassionate, child-focused guidance to co-parenting, in compliance with the law.
Arion Wine Company dedicated 100% of the proceeds to the foundation and proudly handed over a cheque to Plan di Mayor with a donation amount of AWG 20,000, raised entirely at the Wente Vineyard Charity Golf Tournament.
Plan di Mayor representative Michelemira Arends enjoyed the honor of collecting the cheque and was genuinely surprised and moved, as the amount had not been disclosed before. It was an emotional and meaningful moment for all involved.
This generous donation was made possible thanks to the support of amazing sponsors and the enthusiastic participation of all the players who signed up for the tournament. A special thank you goes out to Papiamento Restaurant, who contributed a significant portion of the total donation. Arion Wine Company did not deduct any costs related to organizing the tournament, every florin raised went directly to the cause.
A heartfelt thank you to the Arion Wine Company and H&H Fine Wine and Spirits teams, whose dedication and hard work made the event and donation possible.
