Making a splash to raise funds

Over 400 senior management and employees from CDL and its subsidiaries Millennium & Copthorne Hotels plc (M&C) and CBM Pte Ltd, as well as sister company Hong Leong Finance, exemplified the “kampong spirit”, donating their time and talent at the Assisi Fun Day 2018 on 24 June 2018. At this year’s Assisi Fun Day, the support from CDL and partners raised a total of S$233,855.80, which will go towards supporting 2,000 life-limiting patients who need palliative care, and their families.

At a special segment, CDL Group CEO, Mr Sherman Kwek (first on left), took the plunge for charity at the dunking machine. The segment alone raised over S$180,000, made possible with the strong support from CDL's partners such as its sales and advertising agencies, architects, consultants, main contractors and other stakeholders, CDL employees as well as visitors to the carnival. Together with him are Guest-of-Honour Minister Ong Ye Kung and Ms Ho Ching, Patron of Assisi Hospice.
