On November 11, 2022, the American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand (AMCHAM) teed off for charity at the AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament 2022 at the Amata Spring Country Club. The golf tournament brought together the international business community raising over 500,000 baht for the American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand Foundation (ATF), to support education for Thai university students across the country.
“The golf tournament is an important event for us as it not only raises critical funds for scholarship students but also brings the AMCHAM community together. Our members’ support and participation in the AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament represents an important collaboration that demonstrates the international business community’s commitment to invest in the future workforce of Thailand.” said the AMCHAM Executive Director and Vice President of the ATF Heidi Gallant.
In addition to giving back to the community and making a difference to the lives of scholarship students, this highly anticipated annual event provided an excellent opportunity for AMCHAM member executives and the business community to connect and forge lasting business relations while testing their golf game at one of Thailand’s premier courses in Chonburi.
The event was generously sponsored by Amata Corporation, Agoda, C.P. Group, Chevron, Citibank, Constant Energy, Griffith Foods, International School Bangkok (ISB), Mastercard, Pepsico, RMA Group, Triumph Aviation Services Asia, Tyson Foods, and Western Digital. All proceeds and donations from the charity event will benefit the ATF scholarship program. ATF offers tuition for high-achieving Thai university students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2023, the ATF has a goal to give scholarships to 85 students to further their studies in the Kingdom and has planned multiple fundraising events through AMCHAM for the 2023 year.
