Charity and other things you should know

In addition to the many direct business benefits, by taking part you'll also be raising a significant amount of money for the event charity, the SmarTone AYP International Exchange Programme Fund.

The objective of the Fund is to give some of Hong Kong's underprivileged children a unique opportunity to develop interpersonal and life skills via visits to overseas community projects.

The event organiser will make a donation of HK$10,000 from your entry fee to the charity, and we encourage you to match our donation by either making a corporate pledge, or by raising money from colleagues, friends and family. The previous four SmarTone HK Challenges have raised over US$200,000 for the Hong Kong Award for Young People.
