Insurers helped raise more than $24,000 for the Reach Foundation at McLardy McShane’s annual Melbourne golf day.

More than 130 golfers attended and enjoyed catering from St Kilda Youth Services, which has a program to help disadvantaged youths gain hospitality qualifications.

The Reach Foundation provides school and community-based programs to promote the mental health and wellbeing of young people.

McLardy McShane MD Don McLardy says the group’s work has inspired many in the industry to contribute, and a record number of insurers supported this year’s golf day.
