• Dialog Enterprises partners Rotary Club of Colombo Metro 

The Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan (RCCM) will partner with Dialog Enterprise for the 7th edition of the Dialog Enterprise Rotary Metro Par 3 Golf Classic, which will take place on 14 October at the Royal Colombo Golf Club (RCGC). Some top class golf is expected with two tee-off times of 7 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. in two different groups.

Dialog Enterprise Rotary Metro Par 3 Golf Classic stands as a unique sporting spectacle in the RCGC calendar, where the entire course is transformed into a challenging par 54 course that is both a unique and fun experience for its golfers. Each hole presents a different length and a Par 3 challenge, offering players a mix of fun and competitiveness. The primary objective of the Dialog Enterprise Rotary Metro Par 3 Golf Classic is to raise funds for numerous community development initiatives overseen by the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan.

Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan President Kishani Gunasekera said, “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to RCGC for once again hosting the Par 3 Golf Classic for the seventh consecutive year and our title sponsor Dialog Enterprise, our platinum sponsor WIDAC and gold sponsor Asia Securities for their unwavering commitment to our communities and their trust in the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan. Every year our club’s dedicated efforts continue to make a significant impact in our community. It’s the generous support from our partners that allows us to truly make a difference. We extend our gratitude to all our sponsors for their support in our mission to serve the community.”

Navin Peiris, Group Chief Officer of Dialog Enterprise said, “We are delighted to extend our partnership with the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan once again for a unique sporting event organised in aid of a much worthy cause. Over the years we have sponsored multiple congenital heart surgeries for the less affluent children of our country through this event together with the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan. This partnership ascertains Dialog Enterprise’s continued support for the development of golf as a sport as a responsible corporation, extending our reach into the multiple stakeholders involved with the sport such as the needy communities making a livelihood through golf, the golf clubs, sportsmen, sportswomen and child golfers patronising the game. As the title sponsor, we would also like to thank the Royal Colombo Golf Club for hosting this much looked forward event, which is patronised by most of our top clientele and the other sponsors for stepping up during a period of economic recovery.”

RCGC Captain Rohitha Silva speaking to Daily FT said, “The general committee of the RCGC are proud to partner the Par 3 Golf Classic 2023 Golf Tournament of Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan together with Dialog Axiata PLC. The said tournament is to take place on the 14 October at the Royal Colombo Golf Club. We will partner with all the charity events whilst giving the membership a delightful day of golf and entertainment. In addition to all the other charities, we join hands to carry out RCGC’s special annual school-book program, meant for the children of the underprivileged staff of RCGC. Said projects are considered CSR projects aimed at aiding the community at large.”

The event’s Platinum sponsor is WIDAC and the Gold sponsor is Asia Securities. Other valued partners include Webex, Spillburg, Silvermill and Villa Victoria. – (SJ)
