"The prize has been generously donated by Mr Ivor Skinner and the team at Celtic Couriers and the winner is bound to enjoy the day as The Ashburnham is known as one of our premier golfing venues."
Councillor Thomas added:"The scene is set fora glamorous night of music and dance in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust on June 29.
"We have the Morriston Big Band as the main attraction and they promise to be great fun.
"Other major raffle and auction prizes include use of one of the hospitality suites at Parc y Scarlets for 12 people for a Llanelli Scarlets rugby match.
"There's also a wonderful prize of bed and breakfast, with fishing thrown in."
One of the other organisers isCarmarthenshire libraries manager Mark Jewell, whose son Tom was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2010.
Mr Jewell has devoted himself to raising cash for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity which works with youngsters aged between 13 and 24 to pay thanks for the support his family has received over the past two years.
He said: "I am delighted to be able to support the various activities that are planned, and to give something back in support of the first-class treatment and support we as a family have had from the unit at the University of Wales Hospital in Cardiff.
"It's a very special place and the dedication of nursing staff and support workers is second to none."
