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.
