Galaxy Entertainment Group Donated Coins from “Wishing Crystals” to Tung Sin Tong
February 7, 2013 – As the Lunar New Year is fast approaching, Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) specially donated the coins collected from the “Wishing Crystals” at Galaxy Macau™ to Macau Tung Sin Tong Charitable Society (“Tung Sin Tong”), with the hope to extend warm blessings to the community through supporting Tung Sin Tong’s charity work.
Since its opening in mid-2011, Galaxy Macau has created a lot of memorable experiences for local citizens and tourists with its wide variety of entertainment amenities; among which, the magnificent “Wishing Crystals” near the East Promenade has become a popular wishing fountain for visiting guests to seek good fortune.
The wishing fountain formed by dazzling giant crystals creates stunning visual effect with state-of-the-art interactive technology. Every day, it is surrounded by different kinds of visitors such as parents and children, young couples and older people, who toss in a coin to make a wish. Not only the coins from Asian countries can be found in the fountain, but also those that are from other distanced regions such as the U.S.A., England and even Russia and Argentina.
The coins were delivered to Tung Sin Tong on Thursday afternoon. The society thanked GEG for its kind gesture and praised the company for making a good use of the money by donating it to charity. GEG has also worked with Tung Sin Tong to organize several community activities in the past; these include inviting more than 30 senior citizens and staff members from the society to spend a morning of fun and entertainment at Galaxy Macau in December 2011. Not only did the elderly citizens enjoy a fun-filled movie experience at the then newly-opened UA Galaxy Cinemas, but they were also invited to have a savory lunch at “Tastes of Asia” afterwards.
