It might be less than eight weeks to go till some of the world’s most talented young pro golfers descend on Foshan for the Foshan Open, yet the team behind the major European Challenge Tour event has been spending August fully committed to lending a helping hand to another very important group - those less fortunate youngsters from around the local area.

The climax to the August Charity Campaign was the Friendship Tournament hosted by the event’s presenting sponsor, New World China, at the Foshan Open venue, Foshan Golf Club.

The response for an event in the heat and humidity of mid-summer was way beyond expectations with over 100 players who, along with the golf club, pitched in a total of RMB40,000 through a nearest-the-pin challenge against leading Chinese pro golfer and Foshan Open ambassador Chen Zi-hao and Mr. Julian Small, General Manager of Foshan Golf Club.

“It was really heart-warming to see so many golfers from around the area pitching in to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves,” said Small. “Each year the Charity Campaign plays a very important role in the Foshan Open and it’s extremely rewarding to see the happiness that a helping hand can give to those young people. To all those golfers who took part and to Chen Zi-Hao, I cannot thank you enough for your enthusiasm and support.”

This year’s charity campaign has focused on helping the Foshan Red Cross Hospital and School who were presented with a cheque for RMB40,000 immediately after the New World Friendship Tournament.

“I was happy to be able to help in some way,” said Chen Zi-hao. “Actually it was fun to meet up with all the golfers in the Friendship Tournament and hope that what we did will bring a smile to the faces of the kids at the Foshan Red Cross Hospital and School.”

However, the Charity Campaign doesn’t end there. During the up coming Mid-Autumn Festival, the Foshan Open Volunteer Team and a select group of Foshan Golf Club members will make a personal visit to meet the youngsters at the Foshan Red Cross Hospital and School.

“It will be great to see those happy smiling faces first hand,” said Mr. Small.
