The 20th edition of the annual Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF) Charity Cup Golf Tournament was held at the Tanah Merah Country Club (Garden Course) on 23 July 2021. Guest of Honour, Mr Goh Chok Tong, Emeritus Senior Minister, graced the event together with 115 donors from the corporate and private sectors.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Golf Tournament took the form of a staggered timesheet game. Strict safe-distancing measures (e.g. Safe Entry check-in, no intermingling among guests, masking up during the entire golf game, no dining-in) were also taken to ensure the safety and wellbeing of golfers, management and staff.
With the challenges brought about due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s theme paid homage to the “Heart Heroes” who continue to contribute towards a heart-healthier nation that is resilient against heart disease and COVID-19.
The event raised an estimated total of $503,889, which will go a long way in providing financial assistance to needy heart patients, and funding SHF’s various lifesaving programmes.
We were privileged to receive generous support from our Platinum Sponsor – Tote Board, as well as our Gold Sponsors, Mdm Tan Choo Leng and Mr Eddie Tan.
