Hopewell and St. James’ Settlement Collaborate to Develop Sports Potential of Minority Intellectually Disabled Youths 
 
21 Oct 2011

The 5th Hopewell Bowling Invitation League / 2011 Hopewell Bowling Charity League co-organised by the Hopewell Holdings Limited ("Hopewell") and Hong Kong Bowling City was held on 21 October 2011 at the Hong Kong Bowling City in Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre ("KITEC") with overwhelming success. A total of over HKD80,000 was raised for the "Strike" Bowling Programme of St. James’ Settlement ("SJS") to develop the sports potential of minority intellectual disabled youths.

The annual Hopewell bowling competition aims to encourage staff members of local companies and organisations to actively participate in bowling sports and to promote work-life balance. This year’s League, themed "Strike for Charity", seeked support from the business community for a charitable cause, fulfilling the responsibilities as good corporate citizens. A total of 45 teams from renowned companies and organisations joined the League to compete for the Team and Singles Events awards. A celebrity team formed by artists Mr. Leung Sze Ho, Ms. Lai Ming Si, Mr. Gilbert Lam and Hong Kong Bowling Youth Athletes Mr. Tony Wong and Ms. Victoria Chan, as well as the two "Strike" Bowling Teams were also on the alleys together during the competition. This truly reflects the integration of the disable persons and the able-bodied.

Hopewell, in collaboration with their community partner, SJS, kicked off the "Strike" Bowling Programme this summer to train intellectual disabled youths with the ultimate goal of training athletes to participate in the 37th Hong Kong Special Olympics.
