Chairman’s Message
Dear Valued Supporters and Friends of the Batam International Cinta Amal,
Welcome to our 19th Batam Internasional Cinta Amal (BIC) Golf Tournament in 2024! We are excited to have you here and look forward to supporting the local community through this tournament and other activities throughout the year.
Batam International Cinta Amal management (previously known as Batam International Charity) thanks all of you for supporting this worthwhile charity. Since its inception, BICGT has raised more than IDR 5,4 billion through generous sponsorships, donations and the Calcutta auction event.
We also wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your support in the past year. Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been able to successfully complete our priority projects and continue our mission to make a positive impact in the lives of those who are less fortunate. We couldn’t have done it without your generous contributions.
In 2022, your support allowed us to provide IDR 82,729,000 in school scholarships, build a public elementary school (SDN 011 Galang) for IDR 36,749,599, and give IDR 50,726,000 worth of Lebaran packages to 9 orphanages. These initiatives have had a significant impact on the local community, and we are proud of the work we have accomplished together.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the organizing committee, team members, and all the participants who have contributed to the success of our mission. Your dedication and hard work have made all the difference.
As always, we remain committed to transparency and accountability. We are pleased to announce that the BIC professional audit was successfully completed in 2021, ensuring that we continue to operate at the highest level of professionalism and ethics.
“Throughout the years, the BIC has continuously searched for new projects and initiatives to benefit our community. We will be sharing some of these initiatives at the pre-event cocktail party on 24th October 2024, just before the Calcutta auction. We hope to have an engaging conversation that inspires all team members. We look forward to your participation in the Calcutta night and the golf day – it’s a chance to enjoy ourselves while contributing to a great cause.”
Once again, we appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you to the 19th Batam International Cinta Amal Golf Tournament and other activities in 2024. Together, we can “Golfing for Giving”.
