Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) has raised $65,000 for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund (STSPMF) in a year-long charity initiative. From December 2020 to November 2021, the six hotels in Singapore have donated $10 for every Otter Adventure Staycation at its properties.

MHR Vice President, Sales (Asia) Mr Paul Er said, “The impact of the pandemic amidst the launch of the funding project, resulted in a shortfall of the amount collected, however, the MHR management feels it’s important to help the children especially during the trying time.  Thus, Millennium Hotels and Resorts topped up to meet the monthly target donation for this meaningful cause.”

To wrap up the meaningful charity campaign, Orchard Hotel hosted three beneficiaries and their families at a festive feast at The Orchard Cafe. They were given gifts such as festive cakes and a goody bag consisting of a 2022 calendar, hongbao packets and Chinese New Year otter plushies by Orchard Hotel General Manager Mr Paul Hugentobler.

STSPMF General Manager Ms Tan Bee Heong said MHR’s donation will go a long way in helping STSPMF provide the necessary financial assistance to its beneficiaries. In 2021, the fund disbursed the highest amount of highest amount of $8.86 million. The fund provides pocket money to children from low-income families to help them through school, supporting over 10,000 students a year.
