Sands Cares Ambassador Programme Marks 15th Anniversary with Celebration

Sands China recognises volunteers and community partners
while honouring Dual Celebrations

The Sands Cares Ambassador Programme marked its 15th anniversary with a celebration at The Londoner Macao Dec. 3, attended by around 200 guests, comprising government officials, company executives, representatives from Macao NGOs, and Sands Cares Ambassadors.

Since 2009, team members of different ages and departments have served the community as Sands Cares Ambassadors. The company extended its appreciation to the Ambassadors and long-time local NGO collaborators for their outstanding volunteer work in “walking together” with Macao, while also celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding the People’s Republic of China and the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland.

Company executives honoured 25 Ambassadors with awards for their various contributions, including long years of service, number of volunteer hours, and other noteworthy accolades.

Guests received a commemorative gift pack in appreciation of the programme’s supporting entities and volunteers. In order to share warmth and care with disadvantaged groups, Sands China invited a Fuhong Society of Macau artist with disabilities to design and produce the gift, promoting the talents of people with special needs in the spirit of inclusiveness and art without boundaries.

As part of Sands Cares, the Sands Cares Ambassador Programme has stood firmly with the Macao community for 15 years to provide a platform for team members to serve the community. Starting with only 200 members, it now has more than 3,600 team members who have cumulatively contributed over 310,000 hours of volunteer service.

With Sands China being an important stakeholder in the local community, the Sands Cares Ambassador programme is an influential tool that illustrates the company’s unwavering commitment to contribute to society, serving as an important connection between Sands China and local residents. Therefore, On the 15th anniversary of the Sands Cares Ambassador programme, Sands China is calling on all sectors of society to answer the call to “#BeMyVolunteer” and encourage more people to volunteer with Macao’s social service organisations.

The Sands Cares Ambassador Programme is part of the Sands Cares global corporate citizenship programme.
