SAVE THE DATE FOR THE 12TH SAIGON SUMMER BALL - SATURDAY, SEP. 12, 2020
On September 12th, 2020, Saigon Children’s Charity will stage its annual Saigon Summer Ball at the Park Hyatt Saigon. First organised in 2009, the Saigon Summer Ball has long been one of the premier charity events on Ho Chi Minh City social calendar.
COVID-19 has left its mark on all areas of society. For impoverished children, this crisis could rip away their hopeful future. The Saigon Summer Ball will raise funds to provide underprivileged children with the opportunity to continue their education. Together, we enable children to learn in safe schools, with proper toilet blocks in order to reduce risks of future disease transmission. We guarantee access to scholarships to remove financial barriers to education and support vocational training as a second chance for young adults who already dropped out of school. With saigonchildren, you can ensure that the next generation is protected from the consequences of COVID-19. Education should never be unattainable.
Book your table now and save the date for this dinner of entertainment and philanthropy.
