Swing for Sight 2025
Swing for Sight: More Than a Charity Golf Day.
Swing for Sight was more than just a day on the green — it was a powerful swing toward a future without blindness.
Hosted annually by Retina South Africa in proud partnership with the Dis-Chem Foundation, the event brought together para-athletes, corporate champions, and changemakers for an unforgettable celebration of inclusion, athleticism, and advocacy.
Raising Awareness, Driving Change
Beyond the fairway, Swing for Sight spotlighted the realities of visual impairments and the daily challenges faced by those affected. By uniting players, sponsors, and spectators, the event fostered empathy, promoted inclusion, and strengthened community connection.
Celebrating Ability in All Forms
Our Visually Impaired Team, supported by Nurture Vision, stepped into the spotlight — showcasing extraordinary strength, skill, and determination. Their powerful presence challenged perceptions and redefined ability, reminding us all that sport belongs to everyone.
