By Andrea FERRARI THE Stig Family Charity Day golf event on Sunday 4 January, attracted a record 245 supporters to the fairways at Nambucca Heads Island Golf Course. Players came together to raise vital funds for research at the Children’s Cancer Institute. Organisers Ray Stig and Raelene Squires hoped the event would push fundraising past the $500,000 mark after 32 years of fundraising. While the milestone was narrowly missed, the result remained strong. Organisers expect to donate around $20,000 from this year’s event to the Children’s Cancer
