Acer-Racer Motor Treasure Hunt 09
Acer Malaysia kicked off Acer-Racer Motor Treasure Hunt 09, a charity drive that was graced by
many dealers and media. The treasure hunt acted as a fundraiser for a local orphanage via fun-filled
activities. Each group was assigned a series of tasks, including the purchase of a specific number
of "treasures." These treasures will in turn be donated back to the charity. Winner of the hunt would
take home a certificate and a variety of prized Acer products.
At the end of the hunt, Acer donated over 10,000 Malaysian ringgits to local charities; participants in
the game also contributed generously to reaching out to the community.
Acer Vietnam
Rebuilding Bridges, Rebuilding Communities, Rebuilding Lives
Floods and hurricanes that bear down on Vietnam's Mekong River wreck tremendous havoc every
year, taking approximately 300 lives as the storms ravage areas bordering the River; as many as
50% of the victims are young students who go to school by boat or by bamboo bridges. To ensure
the safety of local children, Acer Vietnam continued its concrete bridge construction support initiative
from 2008, and helped build 5 concrete bridges in Ben Tre province, totaling VND$150,000,000 in
donation value. Also, in October and November 2009, severe floods struck Vietnam's central regions,
prompting the Acer staff to donate VND$4,550,000 to households suffering from the floods so as to
help them get back on their feet in post-disaster construction.
