[July 18, 2017, Macau] MGM hosted the annual “Health Day for Senior Buddies” event for more than 200 local senior citizens at MGM MACAU’s Grand Ballroom today. This is the eighth consecutive year that the Company organized this signature event and has benefited over 1,400 local senior citizens to date.

MGM welcomed over 200 senior citizens with an average age of 75 from six local associations under the Caritas Macau and the Macau Tung Sin Tong Chartable Society. They are Casa Ricci Elderly Center, Centro de Dia da Ilha Verde, Centro Pastoral da Areia Preta, Centro de Dia “Brilho da Vida,” Longevity Special Day Care Center and The Elderly Activity Center. A total of 20 medical practitioners from the Chinese Medicine Association of Macau were invited to provide free one-on-one health consultations together with Chinese herbal soups for the well-being of the senior citizens. Over 60 MGM Volunteer Team members assisted in the event to serve and entertain the senior citizens while they waited for their health consultations.

The event concluded with an endearing, lively lion dance performance presented by the youngest Lion Dance troupe in Macau — graduates of MGM’s Junior Lion Dance Training Program, stirring up the atmosphere with the roaring drum rhythms while bringing fun and warmth to the senior citizens.

Johnwin Lee, MGM Volunteer Team member who brought along his daughter to volunteer during the summer holidays, said after the event, “This is a memorable day as this is my first time that I can volunteer with my daughter. Not only can we enjoy some exceptional family time, but it is also an important lesson to remind both of us to serve the community, especially the senior citizens who built the community that we live in today. I hope we can inspire more parents to encourage their kids to lighten up someone else’s day together and to pursue a better perspective in life.”

With the vision to Create a Better Tomorrow Today, MGM has hosted the “Health Day for Senior Buddies” since 2010, and has benefited more than 1,400 senior citizens in Macau. In addition to on-site Chinese medical consultations, there were also live performances, interactive fun games, lucky draw, and refreshments offered to cheer them up.
