Charity Drive

Late April saw the staging of the EFG Bank Young Golfers Foundation HKGA Charity Golf Day at the ever-spectacular Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club.

"We believe strongly in this initiative, and will also make a significant contribution to it," continued Chiu, an avid golfer himself. "Indeed, we also ask you to make contributions directly to the Foundation. Every donation will go in its entirety to supporting junior golf, and will be added to the commitment of EFG Bank. Furthermore, the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department has granted charitable status to the Foundation, meaning that donations are exempt from tax under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance."

Added Iain Valentine, chief executive of the HKGA: "EFG's support of the development of golf in Hong Kong has been nothing short of superb and it has been exciting to witness the fruits of their sponsorship. Hong Kong junior golf has never been stronger and initiatives like the EFG Bank Young Golfers Foundation promise a very bright future for the game in this city."
