The Pattaya Sports Club proudly hosted its annual Charity Classic Golf Tournament on April 30th, 2025, at the picturesque Eastern Star Golf Course. This signature event supports two vital community programs: dental care for underprivileged children and swimming lessons for local youth.
In the 2024/2025 fiscal year, the Club contributed over 2 million baht to local charities and initiatives—thanks to the remarkable generosity of our members and sponsors. This year’s tournament alone raised more than 160,000 baht, underscoring the powerful impact of our collective efforts.
🎉 Special Thanks
A heartfelt thank you to our organizing committee, led by Vice President Mr. Stan Rees, with key support from Mr. Dave Smith and Mr. John Feeney. We are also deeply grateful to our dedicated staff, whose behind-the-scenes work ensured a seamless event.
