This, in turn, helped strengthen the Hong Kong brand and share positive stories about the city.In 2024/25, the Club’s Charities Trust supported eight “M” Mark events as Official Community Partner. These included the Hong Kong Sevens, the Volleyball Nations League and the Hong Kong Open Badminton Championships, reaching over 81,000 beneficiaries. These partnerships not only inspire the community’s enthusiasm for sport but support the HKSAR Government in strengthening Hong Kong’s status as a premier destination for outstanding sports competitions and major cultural events.The Club’s support for these sports events, like all its charity and community donations, is made possible by its unique integrated business model through which racing and responsible sports wagering generate substantial tax contributions, charity support and employment opportunities for Hong Kong.
