It's that time of the year to show your love as the PKAM's Valentines' Games is back for the 3rd year running. After the overwhelming response in the last two games PKAM has decided to move up another gear with something for everyone. The Valentines’ Games is the place to be as families and friends come together in support of the local and global community around us.

We have lined up the usual suspects such as Badminton, Volleyball and Futsal. Our games have something for everyone and all you need to do in order to participate is to contribute RM1000. It’s possible that sporting activities don’t appeal to your inner athlete which just means that you have more time to laze around the pool and enjoy the refreshments on offer. There’s nothing more beautiful than kicking back and relaxing safe in the knowledge that your RM1000 will help countless lives.

If you feel that you want to contribute more, than look no further than our commemorative souvenir programme. This exquisitely designed program book provides you the singular opportunity to make contribution and raise awareness about your brand and product. RM 1000 for a full page, RM500 for a half page and RM250 for a quarter page.

It’s the 14th year running for PKAM and we’ve never been stronger or more committed. This Games provides you a platform to come together and meet the other contributors. You have stood by us all these years and we’re eternally grateful for your unwavering and unconditional support. Come and celebrate with PKAM as we start the year doing what we love – making a difference.

One person is all it takes to make that difference and with all of you as part of the PKAM family, we’re making all the difference. Every child is the light of this world and by supporting our Valentines’ Games, you’re doing your part in ensuring that the light burns longer and brighter.
Last year we collected almost RM 55,600 in cash and after deducting organization expenses, we had almost RM 48,800 that went towards:

1. SVA – Sadhana Visionary Academy – The educational arm of PKAM with boarding facility
   
2. School Transport Programme – Ensuring that families don’t have a excuse to not educate their
   kids and encouraging daily attendance
   

Don’t worry if you can’t make it for the games, all you have to do is to reach out to us and we’ll tell you how you can contribute.

This Fund Raising Games event was for the various charity programmes that PKAM runs throughout the year.
