　　The 2nd IHG Shanghai Cluster Hope Classic Charity Golf tournament wrapped up successfully on November 7, 2011 at Lake Malaren Golf Club Shanghai. After this event, IHG donated the first donation of RMB 500,000 for Project Hope to build Hope Schools. Initiated and organized by China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF), Project Hope is a public welfare undertaking extensively supported from home and abroad to assist dropout students and those at risk of dropping out to continue schooling in China’s rural, poverty-stricken areas. As one of the main partners of CYDF, IHG with all of its hotels have been working closely with the CYDF to build IHG Hope Schools since 2007.

　　“We are excited to be involved in the program that is dear to all of us and the event would not be complete without the support of our sponsors” said Mr. David Shackleton, Vice President of Operations, East China, IHG.
