Wednesday, 14 December 2023: Following the Charity Gala Dinner on 8 November, the UAESBC together with SNPC held a cheque-presenting ceremony for the $80,000 raised. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the UAE Embassy for their donation of $20,000 to the fundraiser, and to Minister of State Alvin Tan for his invaluable assistance in facilitating this donation.
In attendance were Silver medalist T13 400m runner James Ethan Ang, World Champion archer Nur Syahidah Alim and Gold medalist boccia player Aloysius Gan. Guest of Honour and UAESBC patron H.E. Jamal Alsuwaidi spoke a few words to acknowledge the mastery, hard work and perseverance of Team SG's para-athletes before handing over the cheque with UAESBC Treasurer and Chair of the CSR Sub-Committee Mr V Srivathsan, to Dr Teo-Koh Sock Miang, President of SNPC.
The amount raised at the gala dinner will allow the SNPC to focus on enabling our elite para-athletes to compete in major games such as the ASEAN Para Games, Asian Para Games, Asian Youth Para Games, Commonwealth Games, and Paralympic Games.
We would also like to thank UAESBC Charity Gala Dinner's Gold Table sponsors, ADNOC and Redhill, for showing their support by joining us at the cheque presentation ceremony.
