On February 14, Silvana Debrincat lost her battle with breast cancer. She was just 29.

The night before her death she told Oriano Salvaggio, her colleague at Werribee's CS Accounting and Taxation, she wanted her 18-month-old daughter to have a good education.

Last Friday, 68 players teed off to support her little Gizelle and father George, during the firm's fifth annual golf classic at Sanctuary Lakes.

Mrs Debrincat was with the company for 10 years.

Organiser and former work colleague Shelley Ryan said the event raised more than $7500, which will be put into a trust fund for Gizelle.

"It was really overwhelming. We have 28 employees and we're like one big family – we're very close-knit. We all support each other, so when we lost Silvana it touched everyone – it was a real shock." Mr Debrincat and members of his late wife's family were also in attendance.

"George is a really strong person. He played golf for the first time last week," Ms Ryan said.
