Dozens of Bank of America Merrill Lynch staff and clients take part in competition at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club
The eighth Bank of America Merrill Lynch Charity Golf Day was held in the lush surroundings of Clear Water Bay for Operation Santa Claus (OSC).
Chris Gammons, head of Asia Pacific global capital markets for the bank, addressed more than 70 golfers, comprising employees and clients, before the tee off.
“We’re honoured to be once again part of the Operation Santa Claus charity campaign,” he said.
“We’ve been supporting OSC for the past 19 years, and for the eighth year now we’ve partnered with Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club for this noble cause.”
Since 1988, OSC, the annual fundraiser jointly held by the South China Morning Post and RTHK, has raised more than HK$250 million to support various local non-government organisations that help some of the neediest members of society.
