Outdoor Network, as a media owner, has presented ABF Vital Support Fund with an outdoor sponsorship deal to the value of R50 000. Packages were auctioned at the ABF President's Cup golf day which took place yesterday, 11 May 2010 at the Killarney Golf Club, JOhannesburg. These donated packages enable ABF to raise much needed funds at its various annual events, which in turn fill the coffers for those in need. It gains charitable donations through its core membership base and fundraising events throughout the year.
