Golf after fundraising event (4)

I believe the answer is:

gala

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'event' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Festive event ' mean 'gala' so perhaps 'event' could also mean 'gala')

'golf after' is the wordplay.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'after' becomes 'a la' ('a la' - 'in the style of ' or 'after' in French).
'g'+'ala'='GALA'

'fundraising' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gala that I've seen before include "Fête" , "Festival" , "Swimming competition" , "Social occasion with special performances" , "A festive occasion, perhaps of sporting nature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
