Audience: General

128 golfers gathered on 11 July 2023 at Laguna National Golf Resort Club to hit a hole-in-one for families in Singapore at Focus on the Family Singapore’s annual Charity Golf event.

Golf supporters teed off in support of Focus Singapore’s preventative and upstream work to divorce-proof marriages and nurture resilient parent-child connections to raise stronger youth and young adults in our nation.

Besides novelty games, golfers also attended a meaningful post-event appreciation dinner and received affirmation and encouragement to persevere with regard to investing intentional time and effort in their marriage.

Guest-of-Honour, Mr Seah Kian Peng, Member of Parliament for Marine Parade GRC and Chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Social and Family Development, graced the event.

He shared: “I started supporting Focus on the Family Singapore in 2015 and it is heartening to see the good work it has achieved over the years and how the organisation has grown. And this year, we also saw a successful change of guard as new leadership took over.”

“On a personal note, this year marks my 35th wedding anniversary, and like all relationships, it requires a lot of giving and taking. This said, giving is a real blessing.”

Thanks to the generous sponsors who gave willingly, the event raised over $191,000 including corporate sponsorships, individual giving and sale of flights.

This was Focus on the Family Singapore’s eighth Charity Golf Tournament, with Auto Servizio Italia Services (ASI) as its Hole-In-One sponsor.

Managing Director of Auto Servizio Italia Services, Eric Sim, shared, “Auto Servizio Italia’s foundation is strengthened by the timeless principles of family values and serves as the driving force behind every aspect of our company’s mission.

With a sense of pride, we extend our sponsorship to this extraordinary event in partnership with Focus on the Family, aimed at making a positive impact on society, and cultivating our future generations.”

Chairman of Focus on the Family Singapore, Mr Tony Soh, said, “While families are not perfect and family life can be unpredictable and chaotic at times, a loving and nurturing family environment can be a safe sanctuary across life stages and provide many moments of deep joy and holistic richness, even as we navigate through life and its many winding paths.”

He adds, “As Focus Singapore sharpens our strategies and double down on our efforts to strengthen marriages, deepen parent-child relationships and cultivate the next generation of family champions, we are committed to work together with the government and our valued partners to build a brighter future for Singapore.”
