After much hardwork by the committee, finally on 13th March 2010, we had a very successful Fund Raising cum Publicity Event - Hunt for Charity 2010. Based on the success last year, Hunt for Charity 2009, we took up the challenge to organise 3 different hunts on the same day to attract people from all walks of life, from little children from 5 years to grandmothers of 72 years. The children with young mothers were involved in the Education Nature Hunt in Botanical Gardens co-organised by the Friends of Botanic Gardens. Through sponsorship of teams from various individuals, we were able to sponsor 10 teams of children from underprivilege homes to enjoy the hunt. It was really heart warming to see the joy in the faces of the children as 4 out of the 10 teams also win prizes. The young and energetic groups joined the 5 hours long Motor hunt. The Queensbay Mall Hunt attracted the largest number of teams with hunters as young as teenagers to grandmothers.
A total of 99 teams took part in the hunt. RM45K were raised through corporate, individual sponsorships, donations and team registrations. We would like to thank the Lions Club of Georgetown in supporting this event and YB Koay Teng Hai, ADUN Pulau Tikus, who took time off from his busy schedule to grace the occasion.
