At Hopewell, I have been given
plenty of opportunities to plan and
implement projects, through which
I now recognise my potential beyond
my sports skills. My qualities as an
athlete also prepared me to face the
challenges in my new job.

Sports Development
Developing joint teams with NGOs:
Corporate Sports Challenge
To strengthen the ties with our NGO partners, HHL and KITEC
formed joint teams with St James’ Settlement (SJS) and The Boys’
and Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong (BGCA) to participate
in the Corporate Sports Challenge organised by the Community
Chest to raise funds for its children and youth services. After
several rounds of heated competition, the Hopewell SJS Team
won the championship in the Super Game Category. The Group
donated HK$200,000 for the two teams and HK$160,000 worth
of prizes for the winners. Our Managing Director, Mr. Thomas
Jefferson WU, personally invited eight other organisations to
participate in the event to raise more funds.
Promoting Arts and Cultural Development
We have been supporting the Hong Kong Athletes Career and Education
Programme (HKACEP) initiated by the Sports Federation and Olympic
Committee of Hong Kong, China, since 2008. The objective of the programme
is to help serving and retired athletes integrate into the mainstream
society through a series of career development and educational activities.
Mr. Ka Ho CHENG, a former Hong Kong Wushu Team Representative, and
Ms. ClaraWing Hung TSE, a Hong Kong Beach Volleyball TeamRepresentative,
were recruited to join the Group in 2008 and 2011 respectively.
We also facilitate the staging of large-scale sports events, including
bowling, dance, cue sports, Chinese martial arts, and boxing in Hong
Kong by offering venues complying with international standards
at KITEC.
With our versatile performance venues at KITEC, we have played
an increasing role in promoting arts and cultural development in
Hong Kong in addition to offering financial support to arts and
cultural events. A wide variety of such events, including concert,
musical, dance performance and multimedia shows, were held at
KITEC in 2010/11.
