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 Wednesday, 28 October
2026. 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 "Every Wear Every Care".
Wherever you are,
whatever you wear, every single participation expresses a touch of care. Let's put on our
casual outfits,
show our love and care for everyone around us!
Each year, the Chest organises fund-raising events to benefit over 160 social welfare member
agencies to
support social services in six key areas: children & youth, elderly, family & child welfare,
medical &
health, rehabilitation & aftercare, and community development, benefitting over 3.5 million
service users
each year.
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.
