Sands China Donates US$50K to Support Caritas Macau Events

Macau's renowned casino operator, Sands China Ltd, has maintained a tradition of robust community engagement, especially visible through its enduring partnership with Caritas Macau. Continuing this supportive legacy into its 23rd year, Sands China recently donated in excess of MOP400,000 (US$49,498) in funds and prizes to bolster two significant charitable events organized by Caritas Macau.

These events—the 57th Caritas Macau Charity Bazaar and the 2026 Caritas Macau Charity Run—serve as critical initiatives to fund and foster Caritas Macau's diverse social services and community support undertakings. This repeated contribution underscores Sands China’s unwavering commitment to social welfare and community enhancement in Macau.

Participating in Caritas Macau's Charity Bazaar and Run

The generous donation from Sands China was thoughtfully distributed between Caritas Macau’s prominent events. The 57th Caritas Macau Charity Bazaar, which took place in November at the Nam Van Lake Nautical Centre, received a cash donation of MOP200,000. This funding is earmarked specifically for aiding individuals and families in need through Caritas Macau's community services.

Complementing the cash donation, Sands China introduced prizes valued at over MOP100,000 for a games booth managed by the company’s volunteers and their families. All proceeds from this booth were directed to Caritas Macau, emphasizing the firm’s advocacy for community engagement and support.

In mid-October, Sands China demonstrated their continued commitment to philanthropy through their participation in the 2026 Caritas Macau Charity Run. The casino operator contributed MOP100,000 to this event, marking its 10th consecutive year of involvement.

Moreover, Sands China's employees actively took part in the charity run’s 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre races, showcasing their personal commitment to community welfare. The funds generated from this event support key Caritas Macau programs, including "We Connect", an in-home care service for the elderly, along with the Caritas Clinic and various social enterprises dedicated to employment and community services.

Continued Commitment to Social Welfare and Community Growth

Building on their historical collaboration, Wilfred Wong Ying Wai, the Executive Vice Chairman of Sands China, affirmed the firm's enduring commitment to working with Caritas Macau. He stated, “We will continue to work hand-in-hand with Caritas Macau and other local social service organisations, pooling positive energy to build a warmer and better community together.”

Paul Pun Chi Meng, Secretary-General of Caritas Macau, highlighted the vital role played by Sands China's financial and volunteer contributions, noting their significant impact on sustaining the organisation’s charitable services.

According to Sands China, this year they have also distributed 5,000 food kits to families aided by Caritas Macau as part of their strategy to alleviate local cost-of-living pressures. Developed collaboratively with the Macau Health Bureau, these kits included healthy recipe cards as part of this comprehensive support initiative.

In summary, Sands China’s consistent engagement with Caritas Macau over the decades is a testament to their dedication to fostering community enrichment and supporting social services. Their efforts signify a profound corporate responsibility towards uplifting the wellbeing of Macau’s vulnerable populations.
