A record number of golfers and supporters turned out for the annual Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club Morgan Stanley St. James’ Cup Charity Golf Tournament at The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club in Hong Kong on 19 September 2024 to celebrate the tournament’s 21st year and 6th year with Morgan Stanley as a title sponsor.
With 27 flights of golfers taking to the sun-drenched fairways, the event and St. James’ Settlement, one of Morgan Stanley’s long-term, non-profit partners in Hong Kong, raised around HK$900,000 for underprivileged children in Hong Kong.
“As a firm, we are committed to giving back. We are proud to have again sponsored this charity golf tournament that not only brought our clients and community together, but also raised significant funds to support important causes for underprivileged children in Hong Kong. The overwhelming support and generosity shown by all participants truly embody the spirit of giving back and making a difference in the community where we live and work,” said Vincent Chui, Head of Asia Pacific Wealth Management, Morgan Stanley.
The funds raised will go to St. James’ Settlement Grant-in-aid Brightens Children’s Lives Service (GIA), providing learning resources and opportunities for underprivileged children, including those with special educational needs.
Founded in 1949, St. James’ Settlement helps underprivileged children and youth, low-income families, the elderly and disabled people through its 96 service units around the city. Morgan Stanley has been its supporter for over a decade, with employees participating in over 250 volunteer projects.
