KUALA LUMPUR, 23 SEPTEMBER 2024 – Ronald McDonald House Charities Malaysia (RMHC Malaysia) reaffirmed its commitment to positively impacting the lives of underprivileged children in its annual Charity Golf Championship today. With 110 players participating, the event raised RM450,000 to aid the communities nationwide.

The event held at Tropicana Golf & Country Resort is part of RMHC Malaysia’s ongoing fundraising efforts for its four key programmes: Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald Sensory Room, Gift of Smile, and Back to School Pack program, all of which are aligned with RMHC Malaysia’s core pillars of health, education, and welfare. Since its establishment in 1990, RMHC Malaysia has funded over RM60 million to support more than 200,000 underprivileged children in Malaysia through these programmes.

“The Charity Golf Championship has always been a vital part of our efforts to support underprivileged children and seeing the results of today’s event is incredibly fulfilling. The strong support and enthusiasm from the participants not only reinforce our commitment but also drives us forward. It strengthens our purpose to create a brighter future for the children of Malaysia, and we hope these efforts continue to make a significant impact,” said Dato’ Haji Azmir Jaafar, President of RMHC Malaysia.

During the event, RMHC Malaysia also presented medical grants totalling RM312,462 to five non-governmental organisations (NGOs) including IJN Foundation, Tabung Kebajikan Pesakit HPKK UKM, PPUMCare, Persatuan Kebajikan Pesakit Kanak-Kanak HUSM and Tabung Kebajikan Perubatan Malaysia Hospital Tunku Azizah. These grants will be used to fund essential medical treatment, equipment and other critical needs for children in need.

“The presentation of these medical grants is a testament to our commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of underprivileged children in Malaysia. We believe that every child deserves access to quality healthcare and the opportunity to lead a healthy and fulfilling life. These grants are part of our ongoing efforts to provide crucial medical support, ensuring that no child is left behind,” added Dato’ Haji Azmir Jaafar.
