The Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Friendship Golf Tournament 2024 has just contributed nearly 3 billion VND through donations and art auctions within the framework of the Golf tournament.
All funds raised from the program will be used to support the treatment of pediatric cancer patients and other individuals and organizations through the Ho Chi Minh City Association for the Support of Poor Patients, as well as to support the "Saigon Times Foundation - Pham Phu Thu Scholarship" program to award scholarships to students severely affected by Typhoon Yagi, to help them return to school safely and fully.
Born in the 2000s, over the past 20 years, contributions from the Golf tournament have been creating practical impacts focusing on healthcare, education and post-disaster support.
Up to now, the program has raised tens of billions of VND, contributing to supporting many difficult circumstances, joining hands to solve urgent problems of the community, true to the core value of "Contributing back to society".
