On 10 March 2023, over 50 athletes representing 30 sports gathered at our Athletes Evening at Regent Hong Kong amidst their busy schedule. Olympians Christy Yiu (Marathon) and Boyce Lai (Track and Field), Paralympian Daniel Chan (Para Badminton), renowned fitness trainer Orlando To, and more than 50 supporting partners joined the celebration party alongside our event venue sponsor representative, Ms. Christina Gaw, Managing Principal, Global Head of Capital Markets of Gaw Capital Partners.
Over the past decade, IHKSports has been supported by 8 elite athletes as Ambassadors and over 60 Hong Kong athletes as Athlete Supporters in a voluntary capacity. All of them share our vision of empowering better youths through sports in Hong Kong, serving as role models for our students and representing us in sports and equality promotion.
We are thankful for all supporters who have contributed through home visits, sports class visits, community event sharings, and more, embracing our vision and amplifying our efforts.
Hurdler Vera Lui expressed, “I’ve always supported IHKSports’ philosophy. I hope that through my own strength, more young people will fall in love with sports, build confidence, and courageously pursue their dreams.”
The event started with “High 10s” as the prelude to a series of activities for the 10th anniversary celebration of IHKSports. Special edition Omamori were distributed to all supporters as tokens of appreciation, each including a handwritten thank you note from over 100 beneficiaries!
As we reflect on our work in the past decade of empowering youth in Hong Kong, countless memories flood our minds. The impact we have made together is truly remarkable, and we are humbled by the progress we have achieved. We cannot wait to take on new challenges and embark on an even more fruitful journey in the next decade!
