BANGKOK, Thailand – On September 20, 2024, the American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand (AMCHAM) hosted its annual AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament at the Alpine Golf Club. This event brought together members of the international business community for a day of fun and philanthropy, raising over half a million baht to support the American Chamber of Commerce in Thailand Foundation (ATF). The funds will go towards providing educational scholarships for Thai university students across the country.
“The AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament is a vital event for us because it not only generates crucial funds for our scholarship program but also fosters a sense of unity within the AMCHAM community,” said Heidi Gallant, AMCHAM Executive Director and Vice President of the ATF. “The participation and support of our members underscore the international business community’s dedication to investing in Thailand’s future workforce.”
Beyond the charitable contributions, the tournament offered a unique opportunity for AMCHAM member executives and the broader business community to network and strengthen relationships. Set against the backdrop of one of Thailand’s premier golf courses, participants enjoyed a day of friendly competition while making a lasting impact on the lives of students.
This highly anticipated annual event was made possible by the generous support of sponsors, including Abbott, AGS Thailand, AIG, Amazon Web Services, Amrapur Tailors, Bank of America, Chevron, Citi, Constant Energy, C.P. Group, Diageo Moet Hennessy, Ford Motor Company, Griffith Foods, International School Bangkok, Mastercard, Minor International, Pacific Prime Consultants, RMA Group, Topgolf Megacity, Tyson International, and Western Digital. All proceeds from the event will directly benefit the ATF scholarship program, which provides financial assistance to high-achieving Thai university students from underprivileged backgrounds.
The AMCHAM ChariTee Golf Tournament not only showcases the generosity of the international business community but also emphasizes the importance of investing in education as a pathway to a stronger, more prosperous Thailand.
