The GC Brand Sponsors the 6th Edition of Play With Stephen Golf Tournament – Swinging for Autism Awareness

Our Brand Manager with members at The Play with Stephen Golf Tournament — celebrating teamwork, community, and shared moments.

The GC Brand was proud to sponsor the 6th Edition of the Play With Stephen Golf Tournament, a charity initiative founded by Stephen Oluwatoyin Onaivi, Managing Director of mediaReachOMD Nigeria, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the autism community in Africa.

Held in August at the prestigious Achimota Golf Course in Accra, the tournament gathered golfers, corporate leaders, and advocates, united by a shared passion for driving meaningful change. While the competition on the greens was exciting, the true victory lay in the cause, empowering autistic individuals and their families through education, resources, and care provided by beneficiary centers.

“Golf has taught me patience, precision, and the ability to see beyond the obvious. These same qualities are at the heart of autism advocacy,” shared Stephen Onaivi.

This year’s edition was especially memorable for us at The GC Brand. Our CEO, Mr. Ayoub Ghandour, not only participated in the tournament but also received an award for his outstanding performance. The celebrations grew even more special as attendees joined in marking his birthday, creating a day that was both impactful and joyful.

The GC Brand also had the honour of extending our support beyond sponsorship. Women who cycled from Nigeria to Accra to stand with the cause were celebrated with specially curated gift bags from The GC Brand.

We also made donations to two autism schools, thereby strengthening access to resources and care for children and their families. A signature GC Brand hamper was also presented to the Autism Hero in recognition of her inspiring efforts within the community.

At The GC Brand, we stand for more than beauty and self-care—we stand for community, empowerment, and impact. Supporting initiatives like Play With Stephen reflects our mission to create change that goes beyond business, driving awareness and inspiring action that transforms lives.
