“2020 SHKP Sports-for-Charity Funded Projects Kick-off Ceremony” successfully held Thousands Supported through 8 Funded Projects

Committed to Building Homes with Heart, Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited (SHKP) has long advocated healthy living and Sports-for-Charity, and has continuously encouraged citizens to participate in sports to “sweat for good deeds”. A total of HK$9 million was raised through the SHKP Sports-for-Charity initiatives last year, which will be used to support eight projects dedicated to children and youngsters. The Kick-off Ceremony was successfully held and all funded projects to be started soon. It is expected to benefit over 10,000 people. SHKP hopes that the donations will bring positive energy to the beneficiaries and assist them in achieving more in the future.

To promote the spirit of Sports-for-Charity, SHKP held the SHKP Sports for Charity Carnival at the Hong Kong Velodrome in October 2019. Over a thousand participants had fun exercising together, and SHKP turned their collective effort at the carnival into donations. In addition, SHKP fulfilled its pledge after two cancelled events, the 2019 SHKP Vertical Run for Charity – Race to Hong Kong ICC and the Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon, making extra donations to keep the total donations unchanged for the beneficiary charities for their originally planned projects for underprivileged children and young people. The SHKP Sports-for-Charity initiatives raised HK$9 million last year.

These 8 funded projects cover services ranging from mental support for those facing family hardships, emotional and mental health, to STEM education and physical fitness training, planned and ran by 13 charity organisations. SHKP hopes that all the projects will help them achieve and develop their full potential, and enable them to grow and flourish.
