The Community Chest BEA Charity Golf Day 2023 was successfully held on Friday, 10 March at The Hong Kong Golf Club’s Fanling golf course. This year marked the 25th Edition of the Charity Golf Day. In all, 47 teams composed of over 180 golfers took to the greens for this meaningful cause, raising over HK$2.6 million for mental health services supported by the Chest.

To acknowledge the support of all participating teams, sponsors and donors, a Prize Presentation Ceremony was held on Monday, 27 March at The Bank of East Asia Building in Central. Mr Billy Kong, Deputy Chairman of the Chest’s Executive Committee, and Mr Adrian Li, Co-Chief Executive of The Bank of East Asia, Limited (“BEA”) and Chairman of the event’s Organising Committee, were joined by other Organising Committee members to present prizes and awards to the winning teams, sponsors and donors.

Unique Shipping (HK) Limited won the title of Champion and the Best Gross Award. Ryoden Development Charitable Trust and PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited were awarded the First Runner-up and Second Runner-up respectively. Individual awards, including the Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin were also presented.

The success of the Charity Golf Day would not have been possible without the generous support of BEA. For eight consecutive years, the bank has supported the event as Title Sponsor and Hole-in-One Sponsor, reflecting BEA’s dedication to giving back to society. All funds raised from this event will go to support mental health services provided by the Chest’s member agencies, with no deductions for campaign expenses.

Special thanks go to Organising Committee Chairman Mr Adrian Li; Honorary Adviser Mr Bob Chong; and Committee Members Mr Mark Chan, Mr T C Chan, Mr Kenneth Lam, Mr David Lau and Mr Tony Lee for their contributions.

The Chest would also like to express deep appreciation to The Hong Kong Golf Club for providing a world-class venue and for waiving the green fees. Special thanks go to Mr Daniel O’Neill, Tournament Director, for his invaluable professional advice. Last but not least, the Chest is deeply grateful to the putting green sponsors, hole sponsors, prize sponsors and donors for their generous support.
