AIA Singapore has raised a record SG$362,000 through its fourth annual charity golf event, for the benefit of its adopted charity, Children’s Wishing Well.
The event, which was supported by AIA’s business partners, staff, and financial representatives, raised money to support education, wellness, and enrichment programmes to nurture children and youths from disadvantaged backgrounds. It was also able to exceed last year’s total, which also benefited Children’s Wishing Well.
“We are incredibly thankful for the generosity and support of our corporate customers, business partners, staff, representatives, and fellow members of the community for coming together to help the youths of Children’s Wishing Well achieve their dreams through this AIA Charity Golf event,” said AIA Singapore CEO Patrick Teow. “We are happy that we are able to do our part for the community and make a difference to the lives of our future generations.”
Founded in 2002, Children’s Wishing Well supports children and youths from low-income families, by providing for their educational and daily living needs, equipping them with future-ready skills, and building a strong foundation for them to improve their quality of life.
“For Children’s Wishing Well, our aim is to turn the tables for the less-privileged by seeing them not as ‘what’s wrong’, but ‘what’s strong’,” said Trevor Xie, founder and director of Children’s Wishing Well. “We are grateful for AIA Singapore’s unwavering support in our belief, so together, we can create better opportunities for children in need to realise their full potential.”
The charity golf tournament is AIA Singapore’s key fundraising event, and has raised over SG$1 million over the past four years, the insurer said in a statement.
