More than 3,000 United Overseas Bank (Thai) members of staff, customers and business partners, proved they have a “heart” when they raised more than Bt2.4 million in the bank’s ninth UOB Heartbeat Run/Walk on July 7.

The annual event, which focused on art, children and education this year, aims to promote partnership, philanthropy and participation to help strengthen community bonds. 
The funds raised this year will support two beneficiaries – Phra Dabos School under the patronage of King Rama IX and HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s initiative, the Child and Youth Development Project in Remote Areas.

I believe that unity and strong commitment to keep the good going will make a significant difference to the lives of others.” 
The Heartbeat Run/Walk event was held simultaneously in Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam, bringing together more than 19,000 volunteers, who raised a total of S$1.58 million (Bt35.77 million) for local charities.
