The first Alternatives 4 Children Golf Tournament raises over € 6.000 for better education of children in Bangalore and Mali

On the 6th of June over 20 professionals from the Dutch financial alternatives community came together to show their support for the fund raising initiative of the Alternatives 4 Children foundation. During a special golf event at Golfbaan Amsterdam the foundation raised more than € 6.000 after costs for better education of children in Bangalore and Mali.

This support will enable Alternatives 4 Children (A4C) to contribute to the running costs of different small projects, such as a slum school in Bangalore, or a school community in Mali.

During this first A4C Golf Event over 20 professionals from the Dutch financial alternatives community played golf, enjoyed a nice BBQ and caught up with each other. By buying entry tickets for this Golf Game, they’ve donated together € 6.000 net of costs. The winner of the first Alternatives 4 Children Golf Tournament was “Team Ernst & Young”.

The volunteers and management team of Alternatives 4 Children would like to thank all the players in this first A4C Golf Tournament, the sponsors and donors for being so generous.

Sophie Robe, “It was a great opportunity to bring together members of the Dutch alternative industry to support a common cause: helping children in need.”

Marc de Kloe, “We are setting a precedent in developing an alternatives community in the Netherlands and showing the community that we are a force for good!”

We would like to thank again the following organizations for their generous donation and their continuous commitment to participate to our events, allowing us to make a difference. : Lyxor, LGT, TMF, Blackrock Asset Management, Finles, Jupiter Asset Management, Ernst &Young,

Kempen Capital Management and Golfbaan Amsterdam.

The next event which Alternatives 4 Children will organize for the Dutch financial alternatives community is the gala dinner on October 3rd at the Grand Hotel in Amsterdam. During this event, members of the Dutch investment community or even from abroad can meet colleagues, co-workers and clients and enjoy a fun evening, dress to impress, be entertained, as well as help raise money by participating in our lottery and auction.
