Swing for S3

S3's inaugural Charity Golf Fundraiser 2024 was a success!

On 29th August 2024, S3's inaugural Swing for S3: Charity Golf Fundraiser was successfully held at the Sentosa Golf Club's Serapong Course! Organised to raise vital funds to provide assistance and resources to those affected by stroke, the event saw over 130 players and guests come together to support stroke survivors and their caregivers on their journey to stroke recovery.

We welcomed special guest Mr Lam Chih Bing, former Singapore pro-golfer, to join our tournament during the day where players teed-off towards the cause of stroke prevention, recovery, support, and reintegration. Players challenged themselves to a full day of not only various novelty games, but also scenic views and an assortment of refreshments on the greens, including ice cream and satay!

After an eventful game, we welcomed Guest of Honour, Mr Gan Kim Yong, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry, to unwind with us in a special dinner alongside Chairman of S3, Ms Chang Hwee Nee. Mr Gan inaugurated S3's first Wellness Centre at Enabling Village in 2016. A highlight of the night included the unveiling of our S3@Enabling Village's new centre signage that officially recognises us as a Centre for Stroke Rcovery, reflecting our expanded suite of services dedicated to supporting the stroke community. As a token of appreciation, stroke survivor and S3 employee Mr Patrick Chiam presented Mr Gan with a handcrafted wallet that symbolised S3's gratitude for DPM's support and commitment.

Alongside several performances by a special 3-piece band, we also welcomed the winners from the earlier tournament's novelty games to congratulate them for an excellent game! We also held a special lucky draw that saw five lucky winners walk away with exciting prizes, including vouchers worth over $200 and even a queen-sized mattress, before the night ended with a rousing round of karaoke.

S3 would like to thank everyone for joining us in our first ever Charity Golf Fundraiser to support the stroke community! Our heartfelt thanks as well to Tote Board for their support, and Golf Asia for being our official media partner. We are deeply grateful to all donors, partners, friends and guests for being part of this meaningful initiative!
