Monday 11th May, Hong Kong: Savills Asia Management team together with Macquarie Group presented a cheque for HK$500,000 to the Hong Kong Society for Protection of Children (HKSPC) at the HKSPC Headquarters in Mong Kok.
The Corporate Sevens Tournament (previously known as the Professions Sevens) took place on Sunday 7th December 2014. Title sponsor Savills together with Gold sponsor Macquarie Group once again put on a fantastic fund raising tournament which proved to be successful on and off the field.
Fourteen corporate teams battled it out with Cushman & Wakefield/Macdonald & Co. and Gavekal crowned as Kings of the social and premier Corporate Sevens 2014. Apart from fantastic rugby on the day there was something for everyone - The Hewlett Packard sponsored Kidz Zone was a big hit. The Kidz zone included many activities such as bouncy castles, faces painting and craft works …enticing young supporters to do their bit for charity whilst the tented hospitality village ensured the parents and players were fed and watered!
The money donated to the HKSPC will be used to fund a sports programme aptly named ‘Fun Fun Healthy Exercise’ for young children. The programme will kick start in August this year.
Tournament Director Mr. Simon Smith, Head of Research & Consultants Savills said “For the second year running we are delighted to announce that we have achieved our goal. It is with great pride and pleasure that we are able to work with the HKSPC and support their programme whcih will touch more than 2,000 children and parents in HK. Together with our Gold sponsor Macquarie Group, the participating corporate teams and our multiple sponsors we believe that we truly are making a difference to lives in Hong Kong and I personally thank everyone for making that possible.”
“Macquarie is proud to have contributed to the success of the 2014 Corporate Sevens tournament and to have helped raise much needed funds for the HKSPC ‘Fun Fun Healthy Exercise’ program. We are excited by the positive impact we expect the program will have on the lives of so many children, parents and teachers across Hong Kong.” said Simon Hempel, Global Cash Equities COO, Macquarie Securities Group.
Mr. Robin Hammond, the Executive Committee member of Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children said “Our heartfelt thanks to: Savills, Macquarie Group, and all those who supported the Corporate Sevens Tournament last December. The money received today will enable the HKSPC to introduce a programme that will encourage and educate both children and parents and enable them to engage in a variety of physical fitness exercises.”
