Peresys Golf Day 2008

The Peresys CSI initiative was established with the mission statement to make a meaningful contribution to develop opportunities for all South Africans' right to a better life in our country. In conjunction with our clients and through partnerships with specialist charity organizations we have decided to direct our efforts and funds towards projects or initiatives that have the potential to make a meaningful and lasting difference in combating the number one cause of stress, emigration and negative sentiment in our country - crime.

Who we support Peresys is partnering with the Mike Thomson Change a Life Trust established by Computershare SA to sponsor anti-crime and crime victim support initiatives. The beneficiary of all the funds raised will be the DNA Project, a crime prevention program and Computershare has generously pledged to match all funds raised on the day, rand for rand. The DNA Project was established in 2004 to help develop and expand SA's National DNA Criminal Intelligence Database (NDCID). DNA profiling and the expansion of National Criminal Intelligence Databases is becoming more prevalent worldwide for the solution of unsolved crimes. The logic behind expanding a National DNA Database, is that the more DNA profiles that are entered onto the NDCID, the more likely a “hit” is going to be made, thereby creating an "exponential catch net" for criminals. The more crime stains and DNA profiles of suspects that are entered onto a NDCID, the more likely a suspect will be convicted for not only the crime for which he has been arrested, but for all the other crimes where his DNA profile has been collected. Research into the SA situation showed that the impact of DNA profiling in SA is limited due to a combination of factors such as insufficient DNA Profiling equipment, inadequate laboratory capacity, outdated legislation, overwhelming caseloads, and a lack of training. The DNA Project was thus borne, its aim being to support the Forensic Science Lab with real and “tangible” assistance through an “end to end” process.

Sponsorship opportunities

How it works

The golf day will be ‘sold’ on a sponsorship basis; our partners and clients will be able to buy four balls and there are other sponsorship opportunities. ALL the proceeds from the sponsorships will be donated to the DNA Project. The evening function will be hosted by Graeme Joffe and an auction to raise more money will be conducted by Dave Ravenscroft.

The Pick-a-4-ball will entitle you to enter one or more four balls. The Pick-a-4-ball package will include the following:

This is a unique way of challenging your competitor or maybe another department within your organisation. We are accepting donations and you can challenge another team or organisation to beat-or-match your donation. Peresys will, on your behalf, extend the challenge to whomever you elect and keep you updated to their response. Remember, all donations will be passed on to the selected charity.
