SHKP donates HK$1.55 million from Cyclothon to The Community Chest of Hong Kong for cancer prevention and rehabilitation
Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) and the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) presented a cheque for HK$1.55 million to The Community Chest of Hong Kong today. The donation will support the Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society and The New Voice Club of Hong Kong for cancer prevention and rehabilitation services, benefitting close to 7,000 patients. The funds were raised from donations during the Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon last year, along with additional contributions from SHKP, underscoring the Group’s commitment to sports for charity.
SHKP Chairman and Managing Director Raymond Kwok said: “SHKP has collaborated with HKTB and The Community Chest of Hong Kong for years to raise funds through charitable events to help people in need. Cancer is the leading cause of death in Hong Kong, and early detection can substantially improve the chance of successful treatment. Some throat cancer patients are both physically and emotionally traumatized during and after treatment. We hope that this donation will help the underprivileged get cancer screenings for early prevention, while also helping survivors adapt to their new life as soon as possible.”
Organized by HKTB, Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon 2024 took place on 13 October last year, attracting nearly 6,000 participants. Funds raised from the event, together with SHKP’s additional contributions, were donated to The Community Chest of Hong Kong. This donation, combined with SHKP’s sponsorship for The Community Chest Corporate Challenge 2025 in January this year, has resulted in a total of HK$5 million raised for the Community Chest.
Since 2015, SHKP has been the title and charity sponsor of the Hong Kong Cyclothon. In recent years, SHKP has directed the proceeds towards initiatives that enhance the physical and mental wellness of the community. These include support for stroke and heart disease patients and their caregivers, as well as sponsoring screenings for dementia and cardiovascular disease for the underprivileged.
The Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society will use the donation for cancer prevention and early detection services, in particular medical screening, testing and personalized health counselling for people at high risk of cancer, such as housewives exposed to grease and smoke, catering workers and members of underprivileged families. The New Voice Club of Hong Kong provides various kinds of support for laryngectomy patients and laryngeal cancer survivors, such as rehabilitation training and counselling for those who have undergone vocal cord removal, as well as support for their family members. The club also provides auxiliary medical equipment at discounted prices and free maintenance services.

Grand Opening of GO PARK Sai Sha
GO PARK Sai Sha, the sports and commercial complex within Sun Hung Kai Properties’ (SHKP) mega integrated development in Sai Sha, celebrated its grand opening today. This complex spans 1.3 million square feet and offers a diverse array of indoor and outdoor facilities for sports, entertainment, dining, and leisure activities.
The opening ceremony was officiated by Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government Eric Chan, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government Qi Bin, SHKP Chairman and Managing Director Raymond Kwok, Senior Director of Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency Limited Thomas Kwok, SHKP Executive Director Adam Kwok, and SHKP Executive Director Christopher Kwok. Approximately 1,000 guests, including students, teachers, mentors, and mentees from the Strive and Rise Programme gathered to celebrate this landmark addition to Hong Kong.
Raymond Kwok said, “The Sai Sha project is one of SHKP’s largest integrated developments in recent years—a vision that has taken decades to realize. GO PARK is set to become a new landmark for Hong Kong. Our commitment to ‘Building Homes with Heart’ drives us to showcase the stunning landscape surrounding Sai Sha, creating a beautiful backyard for every Hong Kong citizen. This new landmark is designed not only for public enjoyment of sports but also as an ideal gathering place for families, allowing parents and children to spend quality time together, including their pets. Our aim is to enhance the local community while attracting visitors from across Hong Kong.”
To promote sports for all at GO PARK, students from the Strive and Rise Programme were invited to experience the exciting new sport of pickleball during the opening ceremony, alongside Olympic gold medal-winning fencer Vivian Kong. As a strategic partner of the Strive and Rise Programme, SHKP had previously welcomed around 70 mentors and mentees to GO PARK Sai Sha for an engaging day of different sporting games.
Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan said, “I would like to thank SHKP for your unwavering support of the Strive and Rise programme. SHKP has consistently demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility, and today’s event is a true reflection of their belief in ‘Building Homes with Heart.’ We not only see their support for grassroots students but also their passion for fostering a caring and inclusive society. With continued collaboration among government, business, and community sectors, I firmly believe we can create a brighter future for the growth and development of our next generation.”
Adam Kwok said, “GO PARK makes excellent use of the beautiful coastline nearby, as well as the islands and country parks close in Sai Kung, perfectly blending sports, arts, hiking, water activities, retail and tourism into an all-round experience. As the only sports complex in Hong Kong operated by a private entity and open to the public, GO PARK has partnered with over ten sports associations and renowned sports academies to offer various programmes, ranging from beginner classes for the general public to training for the Hong Kong team. This initiative aims to promote sports in the community, support elite athletics and encourage the commercialization of sports. GO PARK also embraces the idea that ‘tourism is everywhere’, establishing itself as a new landmark for the integrated development of sports, culture, and tourism. Beyond sports, the new development features over 40,000 square feet of children’s play facilities, complemented by a diverse range of tenants and restaurants and a pet park. This makes GO PARK well equipped to meet the needs of different families and serve as a new gathering spot for families of all generations.”
SHKP has been a strong supporter of the Strive and Rise Programme. Over the past two consecutive cohorts, more than 200 SHKP employees have volunteered as mentors each year. In addition to mentoring efforts, SHKP has made donations and organized various activities to help participants find their paths. For the new term in 2025, over 200 employees have already signed up to serve as mentors.
