The best dressed on the night, Jovia Tugume and Michael Monnie were also rewarded with Ug.Shs 500,000 cash voucher each that they generously donated back to the fundraising cause.

The school canteen (serving area) duly perfected the intended purpose as the golfers paid via MTN Momo pay to get their favourite meal and drinks of their choice at a subsidized rate.
