For more than 20 years, The Lawrence S. Ting Charity Walk has been a symbol of compassion and solidarity, becoming a cherished “springtime charity” tradition in the southern part of the city each Lunar New Year. On January 24, 2026, this meaningful journey will take place for the 21st time, with the goal of raising VND 2.3 billion to support disadvantaged families in celebrating Tet – Year of the Horse.
The Lawrence S. Ting Charity Walk is among the earliest and longest-running community events in southern Ho Chi Minh City. Initiated in 2006 by Phu My Hung Corporation as a social activity that connects the community through sports and charitable giving, the program has received strong support from local authorities and enthusiastic participation from the public. Over time, it has continued to grow and spread, becoming an annual event held in the Phu My Hung City Center for the past two decades.
Thousands of Participants Supporting the needy
Over 20 years, the walk has attracted nearly 240,000 participants. Through these events, Phu My Hung Corporation, in coordination with local authorities, has raised more than VND 51 billion, which has been donated to local “For the Poor” Funds. These contributions have supported a wide range of social welfare activities, including the construction and repair of gratitude houses and charity houses, roof repairs, floor elevation projects, livelihood assistance, donations of essential means of subsistence, and Tet gift distribution. In addition, the program has contributed to other meaningful initiatives, such as the “One Heart” Fund of Ho Chi Minh City Television (HTV), the “Supporting Fund for Sports Talents” of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports, and several other social funds.
“The success of the program lies not only in the numbers, but also in the collective effort of the community. Its sustainability over the years is thanks to the close coordination of local authorities, the support of businesses, and the spirit of solidarity shown by thousands of participants each year”, shared a representative of Phu My Hung Corporation.
Staff members of Phu Hung Insurance Joint Stock Company participated in The 20th Lawrence S. Ting Charity Walk.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung, Business Director of Phu Hung Insurance Joint Stock Company, shared: “For many years, every Tet, Phu Hung Insurance has accompanied the Lawrence S. Ting Charity Walk. Beyond sponsorship and charitable contributions, many of our employees also arrange to walk together and bring their families to participate, because we believe this is a very humane and meaningful event to begin the new year”.
The vibrant atmosphere created by charitable footsteps and the spirit of sharing will once again be reignited at The 21st Lawrence S. Ting Charity Walk, scheduled for 6:30 AM on January 24, 2026, at The Crescent, Phu My Hung (Tan My Ward, Ho Chi Minh City).
