with the running of the 2005 Singapore Gold Cup, the richest domestic race

Yu Pang Fey, President and Chief Executive of the Singapore Turf Club, said: "We are delighted to once again work with the Community Chest and offer the STC Charity Raceday as a platform for it to raise funds for its 360,000 beneficiaries. I would like to thank the President and Mrs Nathan for gracing the occasion and PricewaterhouseCoopers for supporting our Charity Raceday and for making it a success." Shared PwC Executive Chairman, Gautam Banerjee: "We have always supported charitable, educational and community service activities. Through Community Chest, a single entity, we will be able to reach out to a large number of disadvantaged groups." Ms Woon Saet Nyoon, Director of Community Partnerships, Community Chest expressed her appreciation: "We are thankful to PricewaterhouseCoopers for their generous contribution and the Singapore Turf Club for providing us the platform of the STC Charity Raceday.
