Dress Casual Day has developed to become a flagship fundraising event of the Community Chest since its inception in 1993. Each participant donates HK$70 or more (no minimum is set for students) and go to work / school in their favourite casual wear in support of a meaningful cause.
The coming event will be held on Thursday, 31 October 2024. To make it more fun, a special event theme will be adopted and various activities will be held every year. The theme for this year is WEAR TO CARE. Let's put on our casual outfits in a happy mood, show our love and care for everyone around us!
「WEAR TO CARE」
Each year, the Chest organises fund-raising events to benefit over 160 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.
Participants can donate to the Chest by the following methods:
-
Write a crossed cheque payable to "The Community Chest of Hong Kong"; or
-
Deposit the donations into the Chest's bank accounts at
Bank of China (Hong Kong): 012-874-0-008588-4 or Hang Seng Bank: 280-157553-001; or -
