The Zonta Club of Hualien II, Taiwan, successfully hosted Hualien’s first women’s charity golf tournament, “Blooming Bright, Shining Zonta,” in support of the Zonta Says NO to Violence Against Women campaign.

Held at the Hualien Golf Club, the event welcomed more than 60 female golfers, using golf as a powerful platform to promote unity, dignity and human rights for women. The tournament aimed to raise awareness of gender-based violence while amplifying the mission of Zonta International within the local community.

Thanks to the generosity of the Hualien Golf Club, the tournament raised US$1,935 in proceeds, which were donated in full to the Zonta Girl Scholarship – Shining Stars Program. The initiative, led by the Zonta club, supports underprivileged girls in rural areas by providing access to education and helping them realize their potential.

An on-site charity booth also raised an additional US$2,200 in donations, further strengthening the impact of the scholarship program and demonstrating strong community support for the cause.

The day concluded with an awards ceremony marked by celebration and camaraderie. Wang Xiuxia earned the Overall Gross Champion title with a score of 77, adding to the event’s uplifting atmosphere.
