Dress Casual Day has become popular with more and more participants every year since its inception in 1993.


Each participant donates HK$70 or more (no minimum is set for students) to take part. Put on your favorite casual wear to work or to learn for a good cause, no matter where you are.


To make it more fun, different event theme will be adopted and various activities will be held every year. The theme for this year is we CARE we WEAR.


Be gentle and kind to make people feel touched with our solicitude.
we CARE we WEAR”!

This year, Tencent Charity Foundation will join hands with The Community Chest of Hong Kong to initiate a donation matching for the Dress Casual Day, which will make an extra donation of HK$20 for every participant joining the Dress Casual Day 2022 with a total cap of HK$10 million. As the message of “Together for Good” conveyed by the “Little Safflower”, we hope to encourage more participation and more funds could be raised to benefit the needy in Hong Kong, making every small act of kindness more powerful than it seems.


Together for Good!


What is “Little Safflower”?


“Little Safflower” is composed of five love hearts, each and every petal of which represents love and caring. As the proverb says, many little streams make a mighty river, we hope everyone can recognize that every “small kindness” in daily life could be accumulated and transformed into a “great love”, making a great positive impact in the community.


Tencent’s charity platform uses the “Little Safflower” to keep track of every good charitable behavior from users and advocate public welfare as a lifestyle. Users can obtain the “Little Safflower” by performing charitable activities such as donating money, steps donation, and participating in charity quizzes. The “Little Safflower” can be relayed towards charitable programs which encourage participants to continue their good deeds and become lasting volunteers and donors.

The 2022 Community Chest Dress Casual Day has a fun activity for everyone - The Community Chest Facebook Messenger we CARE we WEAR prize game.

2–THEME CALENDAR
(October 2022)

HOW THE DONATIONS ARE USED

Each year, the Chest organises fund-raising events to benefit over 165 social welfare member agencies that reach out to more than 2.5 million beneficiaries in Hong Kong in six major areas of services: children & youth, elderly, family & child welfare, medical & health, rehabilitation & aftercare, and community development.
The Chest’s administrative expenses come from a subsidised grant from our partner-in-charity, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, and return from prudent investment. This allows the Chest to allocate 100% of funds raised to charitable use; this operations model makes the Chest unique among its peers, and helps fulfil its mission to act as trustee of the donors.
