Ikoyi Club to Host 4th Foundation for Cancer Care Charity Golf

In its continued effort to reduce the burden of cancer and alleviate the suffering of cancer patients through treatment support, screening, and awareness campaigns, the Foundation for Cancer Care (FCC), a non-governmental organization, is set to host a golf tournament at the Golf Section of Ikoyi Club 1938 on Friday, April 17th, 2026.

The 18-hole golf competition is aimed at raising funds for cancer patients and is one of the many initiatives organised annually by the Foundation.

Tagged the “Swing Against Cancer Charity Golf Day,”the event will bring together survivors, corporate organizations, supporters, and advocates who share a commitment to fighting cancer through this unique platform.

Beyond being a friendly competition, the tournament also plays a significant role in supporting the Foundation’s screening and treatment programmes across the country. The Foundation’s goal is to purchase a mobile screening unit that will increase access to cancer screening—particularly for breast, cervical, and prostate cancers—at the community level to ensure early detection.

Led by Dr. Chukwumere Nwogu, the Foundation is leveraging the 18-hole competition as a lifeline for patients by raising funds for radiotherapy treatment and outreach, while also spreading awareness to encourage early detection across Nigeria.

Since its establishment in 2008, the FCC has been a key player in bridging the gap for individuals who cannot afford the high cost of cancer care. This year’s event, scheduled for April 17th, is particularly focused on mobilizing corporate and individual support to sustain these critical programs amid challenging economic conditions.

“The game is not just a tournament to us at the Foundation for Cancer Care; it is a means of reaching out to Nigerians and corporate organizations to seek support at critical times like this. It also serves as a platform to create awareness about the burden of cancer in our society,” said Dr. Nwogu, Chairman and Founding Trustee.

Team Sacvin is the defending champion of the tournament.
