SDSC Charity Golf 2024
In the last 50 years, the Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) has relentlessly pursued its mission to help persons with disabilities to participate in sports and improve their lives. Started by 10 social service organisations, SDSC has now grown to a network of 27 organisations promoting sport for persons with disabilities. Programmes are run daily by SDSC and its members, to help individuals with physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities enjoy, learn, train and excel in sport.
SDSC aims to engage even more persons with disabilities to participate in sport to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. As there are more costs associated with disability sports, due to specialised transport, coaches and equipment, SDSC needs to raise even more funds to support our beneficiaries.
The SDSC Charity Golf was held on Wednesday, 16 October 2024 at the Tanah Merah Country Club, Tampines Course. Together, we hit our target of raising $350,000 to support SDSC’s programmes, empowering persons with disabilities to excel in sports, from grassroots initiatives to high-performance training!

SDSC’s Charity Golf, held on August 4, 2022, at Singapore Island Country Club, aimed to spread SDSC’s vision of transforming the lives of persons with disabilities through sport and its mission to build a vibrant and inclusive community where they can pursue their sporting aspirations. The event also sought to engage the wider community and raise funds to support this cause.
The day started with a sumptuous lunch buffet, one of the first events of its kind at SICC following the relaxation of pandemic measures. Donors and sponsors eagerly participated in the shotgun start, kicked off by Paralympian and SDSC board member, Yip Pin Xiu. Amidst the competitive spirit, golfers had some light-hearted moments, striking their best poses at the photo backdrop and indulging in light refreshments at the halfway house, which featured delicious baked goods from PAUL and ice cream. Excitement grew with the allure of two $50,000 hole-in-one cash prizes.
As the day progressed with favorable weather at the Island Course, the golfers who took part in this meaningful event had the opportunity to meet some of the beneficiaries of SDSC during the evening’s dinner, held in the ballroom and featuring a sumptuous spread. The event was graced by the Guest of Honour, Ms. Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment, along with esteemed Paralympians and developing para athletes, including Yip Pin Xiu, Toh Wei Soong, Jovin Tan, Elaine Eng, Marius Marsden, and Aaron Yeo.
Awards were presented to the top golfers in various categories, including Males, Females, and novelty categories like ball sweep and nearest to pin. Guests also participated in a meaningful charity auction, featuring items donated by Paralympic medalist Yip Pin Xiu, former World Champion para archer Syahidah Alim, and a night’s stay at Raffles Hotel’s Presidential Suite with dinner at La Dame de Pic. Additionally, beautiful calligraphies from Cultural Medallion winner Mr. Lim Tzu Peng were showcased. The lucky draw offered over 60 prizes, with the Monoeco Water Purifier as the top prize.
All the participating golfers received goodie bags worth nearly $500 each as a token of appreciation.
The event successfully raised $500,115, which will greatly support SDSC’s programmes and beneficiaries. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous support of our kind donors and sponsors.
