Sands China Invites Community Members to Explore teamLab SuperNature Macao

Family-friendly activity in celebration of Macao SAR 22nd anniversary

(Macao, Dec. 20, 2021) – In celebration of Macao's 22nd anniversary of its return to the motherland, Sands China hosted a community event for 500 participants, where members of local community organisations, their families, and Sands Cares Ambassadors explored teamLab SuperNature Macao's immersive art space at The Venetian^® Macao Monday.

Entitled "A Joyful Get-Together" – Celebrating the 22nd Anniversary of the Macao SAR, the activity aimed to spread joy in the community and promote family harmony by offering participants an interactive art experience, creating memorable moments for them to mark the holiday.

"Sands China is very pleased that members of local community organisations and their families were able to explore the interactive art installations at teamLab to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the Macao SAR," said Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd. "We are grateful that our guests had an enjoyable experience there, and it is our hope that events like this can help enhance family interactions and strengthen family bonds. Our company's gratitude goes to the participating local organizations for their support on this event and to our volunteers for their continued dedication and spirit of giving back to the community."

The event kicked off with an opening ceremony attended by Sean McCreery, senior vice president of resort operations for Sands China Ltd.; Paula Ling Hsião Yun, Vice-Chairwomen of the Women's General Association of Macau; Lei Cheok Kuan, Vice President of General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macau; Lee Kwok Hoo, Service Director of Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office; Leong Meng Ian, Vice Chairman of Macao Federation of Trade Unions; and Sam Chongnin, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Community Affairs of Sands China Ltd. The Ambassadors and their guests then enjoyed the immersive and interactive art installations at teamLab SuperNature Macao – a permanent exhibition at Cotai Expo spanning 5,000 square metres of labyrinthine floor space.

"This is our first experience at teamLab and my kids are fascinated with it," said one of the participants who joined with her children. "This art exhibition is definitely an ideal place for families and we will cherish the memories of the time we spent together on this special day."

The local community organisations participating in the event were the General Union of Neighbourhood Associations of Macao, the Women's General Association of Macau, the Macao Federation of Trade Unions, and the Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office.

As a parting gift for their guests, the Sands Cares Ambassadors passed out festive gift packs purchased from Fuhong Society of Macau that were prepared by its members with mental disabilities to further promote social inclusion in the community.

The Sands Cares Ambassador programme was established in August 2009 to give Sands China team members an outlet for serving the local community by organising community activities and initiatives that work toward creating a better Macao. With membership of more than 3,300 volunteers from across all Sands China properties – Sands^® Macao, The Venetian Macao, The Plaza^® Macao, The Parisian Macao and The Londoner^® Macao – the Sands Cares Ambassadors have contributed more than 130,000 hours of voluntary community service since the programme's founding.

Sands China's community work is part of Sands Cares, the global corporate citizenship programme of parent company Las Vegas Sands Corp.
