The funds, generated from the sale of Ice cream during the 13th Malaysian Super GT weekend by race promoter JPM Motorsport ,will go towards sponsoring the living and training expenses of 13 children at the association over the next one year.
"JPM Motorsport is grateful and we wish to thank all race enthusiasts and spectators to the race weekend who generously patronised the ice cream kiosks which have enabled us to channel every cent made from the sale to SAMH," said the company's General Manager TP Chin adding that approximately 100, 000 race fans attended the event.
"Coincidentally, the amount collected which will sponsor the needs of 13 children also reflects on the 13th Malaysian round of the Autobacs Malaysian Super GT round."
SAMH was established in 1964 as a non-profit voluntary organization. It was initiated by a group of concerned parents and voluntary workers under the sponsorship of the then Rotary Club of Klang and Port Swettenham.
From a humble beginning of only four children and one teacher, the Association now has 13 programmes in the Klang Valley catering to more than 500 children/adults with varying Mental Disabilities.
Housed in Wisma Harapan, 522, Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad, Brickfield, SAMH's primary aim is to provide education, training, employment and care for mentally handicapped
children and young adults so that they may realize their full potential.
"It's an incredible opportunity to assist with this cause and we at JPM Motorsport hope that our small donation will contribute towards giving these 13 children all the training and skills they require as well as deserve for a brighter future," said TP Chin.
While the Series celebrates its 20th anniversary, the Malaysian round, which is the only international stopover for what is recognised as being one of the world’s fastest and most exciting GT racing series, ushered in its 13th year of hosting the race. For JPM Motorsport, it was the company's third successive year of being entrusted to organise the Malaysian round of Autobacs Super GT Series.
