It recently presented cheques to beneficiaries of the sport for charity events SHKP Vertical Run for Charity – Race to Hong Kong ICC and Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon. Group volunteers also spread warmth in the community by visiting a number of senior citizens. Sport for charity The idea of sport for a good cause continued with the latest SHKP Vertical Run for Charity – Race to Hong Kong ICC and Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon. Proceeds from the two events plus extra contributions from the Group exceeded HK$8.6 million. The money went to The Community Chest, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS), the Boys’ & Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA), J Life Foundation and the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG). The beneficiaries will use the money for child and youth services. HKCSS will run the SHKP Rainbow with KIDS for under-18s who have undergone family crises in the past year. BGCA will have a new SHKP Health Angel – Child Health Promotion Project to teach health awareness and healthy living skills to disadvantaged families so they embrace positive attitudes and habits. The J Life Foundation helps less-fortunate families in Sham Shui Po and it will give children a boost with its SHKP Starting Line Project. HKFYG will run a SHKP Smart Kids Learning Project offering academic assistance to needy children. Funds will additionally subsidize Suicide Prevention Services, the Hong Kong PHAB Association, Hans Andersen Club, Mother’s Choice and designated child and youth services under the Tsung Tsin Mission of Hong Kong Social Service through The Community Chest to show love and care for children and youth in need. Spreading warmth in winter The SHKP Volunteer Team works with different charity groups to help the needy. Some 60 volunteers took part in a programme organized by the Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council to visit single elderly and senior couples in Sham Shui Po, bringing hot soup to them as a special treat. Volunteers also went to an elderly care center run by Yan Chai Hospital where they gave out hand-knitted scarves and played games with the elderly to help them train their awareness.
