Standard Bank plc has injected K10 million into this year’s Presidential Charity Golf Initiative slated for Country Club Limbe on Friday and Saturday.

The bank’s head of brand and marketing Tamanda Ng’ombe said during the handover of the sponsorship that the partnership reinforced Standard Bank’s commitment to using golf as a platform for supporting initiatives that drive positive change.

“Standard Bank plc is well established in corporate social investment, where we have a solid track record of contributing to the key sectors of education, health and youth development. The Presidential Charity Golf tournament aligns with our focus areas as it aims to raise funds to help in similar areas of need,” Ng’ombe said.

Responding to the bank’s gesture, Chairman for the Presidential Charity Golf Organising Committee Boyd Luwe appreciated the bank’s gesture.

“The committee is very grateful to Standard Bank for making this decision to partner the President in making a difference to the lives of less privileged people in our society. This is a real testimony that Standard Bank is a generous and responsible corporate [sector player],” Luwe said.
