Campaign Asia holds second Charity Golf Tournament for Mother's Choice

The two-day tournament, held October 16 and 17, saw 40 golfers from Fox, GroupM, Dentsu Aegis, OMD, PHD, A+E Networks, Havas , LinkedIn, Mediamath and Futurebrand, take to the green for a good cause. 

"As an industry it's truly important that we play our part in contributing to society," said Tim Waldron, managing director of Haymarket Asia. "I am delighted that Campaign is in a position to unite the industry behind such a great cause."

Campaign Asia-Pacific has been a long-term supporter of Mother's Choice, an NGO that cares for children without families and girls facing crisis pregnancies, and this year's event brings the total funds raised from the industry to around US$200,000. 

This year GroupM (A), comprising Ed Thesiger, Adrian Lee, Andrew Edelson and Mike Jackson, carried off the top team trophy with a combined score of 418 points, finishing ahead of Team GroupM (B) and Team Fox.

Mike Jackson of MEC (113 points) and Andrew White of Fox (113 points) were the tournament's joint runner-ups.
