In a spirited show of support for palliative care, 148 golfers rallied together at the Tampines Course of Tanah Merah Country Club for Dover Park Hospice’s biennial Charity Golf fundraiser. Gracing the occasion as Guest-of-Honour was Mr Seah Kian Peng, the Speaker of Parliament. The event brought together corporate partners, donors, and new supporters in a shared mission to raise funds for patients with life-limiting illnesses.
As Singapore’s population continues to age rapidly, the demand for quality palliative care has become even more pertinent. We play a crucial role in this landscape — providing comfort, dignity and holistic support to patients in the final stages of life, regardless of their background or ability to pay. More than 70% of our patients come from low-income households, many struggling with the emotional and financial strain of terminal illness. Fundraising initiatives such as the Charity Golf event are essential in sustaining the hospice’s operations, to ensure that both patients and their caregivers receive the comprehensive support that they need during life’s most difficult moments.
During the golf tournament, our golfers were presented with a line-up of challenges. Through two meaningful on-course challenges — “Putt It Forward” and “Drive for a Purpose” — golfers went beyond the game to make a lasting impact. Every ball, every swing and every pledge contributed directly to supporting Dover Park Hospice’s mission of compassionate care.
Incentivising golfers to sharpen their one-shot accuracy, the tournament featured three exciting Hole-in-One prizes — generously sponsored by CarTimes, TradsGroup, and Philip Stein — including a luxury car, $50,000 cash, and a premium timepiece.
The competitive spirit didn’t stop there as golfers also tested their precision and power in novelty contests like Nearest-to-Pin at Hole #6 and Longest Drive at Hole #8, where the most skilled players each walked away with a golf clubs and two bags by TaylorMade.
Our heartfelt gratitude to all donors and sponsors in our Charity Golf fundraiser and for generously supporting our cause. With growing support from the community and like-minded partners, Dover Park Hospice continues to forge ahead — not just meeting needs, but transforming lives with dignity, care and hope.
