So many activities took place this past weekend! Starting with the Benetti Welcome Cocktail for the Sugar Golf Tournament, attendees were welcomed to the Casa de Campo Yacht Club in the Marina Wednesday evening, and encouraged to shop the opening of the Sugar Bazaar for the Fundación MIR the following morning. Three days of golf for both men and women and a Women’s Tennis Tournament kept Casa de Campo filled with sports enthusiasts, and led to to an enjoyable Awards Ceremony on Saturday. An elegant fashion show also took place earlier in the day on Saturday at the La Romana Country Club, where no doubt we’ll see many trending styles from the event in the upcoming weeks of summer.
Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who participated in the tournaments! Let’s RECAP the events that took place!
After arriving early in the day for practice rounds on the golf courses, many players and their spouses enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere out on the Marina Yacht Club terrace, getting to know their competitors a bit better and seeing long-time friends. It was a great way to start the festivities! Read more here.
The days were bright and sunny with a small threat of rain that thankfully never came! Players enjoyed games of golf, both in La Romana Country Club and on the world renowned Teeth of the Dog. Each player had the opportunity to get ready for the tournament by practicing on Thursday to prepare for the competitive rounds ahead. Read more here.
As in previous years, the Sugar tournament was accompanied by the MIR Bazaar, which included a Ladies Luncheon and fashion show. The ‘MIR Bazaar,’ a 3-day bazaar laid out in the La Romana Country Club’s main clubhouse, is a fantastic shopping opportunity with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Fundación MIR.

Under a clear sky, beautiful surroundings were decorated with lights, and the guests enjoyed a dinner buffet and drinks. Alfy Fanjul, accompanied by his daughters, Crista Ryan and Lilian Fernández, presented the tournament’s victors with prizes and trophies. Read more here.
Remember that to help the Fundación MIR you don’t have to wait for a fundraiser, you can always contact the organization and see how you can support them and the wonderful job they’re doing with La Romana’s youth!
