Sands China announced a donation of MOP700,000 to the Macau Tung Sin Tong Charitable Society during a cheque presentation ceremony on November 20 at The Venetian Macao, marking its 22nd consecutive year of supporting the NGO’s annual fundraising campaign and charitable services.
As part of the Sands Cares global corporate citizenship programme, besides the annual donation, Sands China’s support to Tung Sin Tong this year included inviting Tung Sin Tong Pharmacy to participate in the 2025 Sands Shopping Carnival in July.
Sands China leveraged its annual signature event to not only assist Tung Sin Tong in promoting Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to the public but also to actively contribute to the popularisation and development of the local TCM and health industries, while further deepening public awareness of Tung Sin Tong’s social services.
Earlier this year, Sands China purchased 3,000 packets of TCM soup from Tung Sin Tong Pharmacy to include in food kits that the Sands Cares programme distributed to community members in need in July and August. Beyond promoting and supporting the health preservation benefits of TCM, the initiative expressed tangible care to the beneficiary families in support of community health.
Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: “Since 2004, Sands China has donated each year to Tung Sin Tong’s fundraising campaign, in support of its charity initiatives. Tung Sin Tong is one of the oldest charity organisations in Macao, with 133 years of service to the community, offering free medical services, medicine, and education to people in need. We sincerely thank Tung Sin Tong for its contributions to the community; Sands China will continue to work closely with local NGOs to actively carry out the corporate spirit of Sands Cares in giving back to the Macao community and building a harmonious and inclusive community together.“
Dr. Wong attended the cheque presentation ceremony with Catherine Kong, Sands China’s vice president of corporate communications and community affairs, and Annie Lam, director of community affairs, to present a ceremonial donation cheque to Tung Sin Tong’s José Chui Sai Peng, chairman of the board of directors; Ho King Lun, vice chairman of the board; and board members Charles M. Choy and Lee Koi Ian.
Founded in 1892, Macau Tung Sin Tong Charitable Society is the most prominent relief-oriented Chinese organization in Macau, second only to Kiang Wu Hospital. The Society provides medical services and medication, consistently upholding its principle of offering free care and both material and spiritual assistance to those in need.
Macau gaming operator Melco Resorts also reaffirmed its commitment to social responsibility by donating MOP 7,000,000 to support Tung Sin Tong’s initiatives that uplift the lives of the community’s most vulnerable, during a cheque presentation ceremony at Morpheus, City of Dreams.
