RM18,000 raised from charity event handed to association

LONPAC Insurance, one of the country’s leading general insurance companies, initiated a charity golf tournament held at the Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah in Shah Alam to raise funds for Sri Eden Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Welfare Association recently.

About 120 participants, comprising Lonpac Insurance management team, business partners, clients, agents and motor policyholders, took to the greens.

Sri Eden is a non-government organisation catering to the needs of children with learning difficulties such as autism, Down Syndrome, mental retardation and cerebral palsy.

About RM18,000 was raised from the championship.

An additional RM3,000 was also raised through cash donations from the participants. Lonpac Insurance adviser Tee Choon Yeow handed over the donation to Sri Eden president Ron Hee.

The donation to Sri Eden will be used for their critical individualised education plans for the children.

This individualised education plan is set up due to the varying conditions of the children which include trained teachers, specialised equipment and teaching aid.
