The 3rd annual MacauBusiness Charity Gala Night took place at the stunning Westin's Pool Loggia, situated at Macau Westin Resort & Spa. The Venue for 2010 4th Charity Gala Night will be announced at 30th July 2010. We are looking forward to see you there again. Please keep watching this space for further information.

Holes to hope
The Cradle of Hope Association and the International Ladies’ Club were the real winners of the 3rd Annual Macau Business Charity Golf Tournament and Gala Dinner. They were chosen as the beneficiaries of winning teams BNU and MBSK
Socially responsible corporate patrons who took part in our charity golf outing, competed not for a shot at the prize money, but for the naming rights of the institution to whom the money goes. HK$200,000 was equally divided between the teams with the best gross and net scores (see text in these pages).
This tournament’s champions Team BNU, chose to give their prize money to The Cradle of Hope Association, a social project running two orphanages for abandoned babies and children at risk. An ecstatic Marjory Vendramini, president of the Cradle, received the HK$100,000 cheque from the winners.

Fitting winners
The International Ladies’ Club was arguably ‘the’ fitting charity choice of net score winners Team MBSK, the event’s only ladies’ team.
Founded in 1982 to promote friendship and understanding, while liaising between donating organisations and charities, and now working with more than a dozen local charities, the ILCM was represented by its president, Andrea Mansfield.
Apart from the tournament prize ceremony, the 3rd Annual Macau Business Charity Golf tournament Gala Diner also hosted fund raising auctions throughout the evening.
Memorabilia from the world of sport, cinema and music were sold at the event, including an autographed helmet by MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi and an electric guitar from rock legends U2. Artworks from European and Chinese artists also went under the hammer.

Among the institutions benefiting from moneys raised on the glamorous evening were the Andrew Stow Memorial Fund, the Gallery Marianne Kids Art Development Project, as well as Helping Hands who in turn will channel funds into other social projects.
Despite the event’s success, the total amount of money raised this year fell short of last year’s, coming in at just below the MOP500,000 mark.
