The program will offer activities including school-based events, experiential courses and inter-school competitions, with complimentary tickets made available to people in underprivileged communities. In the lead-up to the golf tournament, elite international golfers visited a primary school to engage with students and inspire interest in the sport. Arrangements were also made for golf professionals from HKGC to mentor young players of differing abilities to promote inclusion. These initiatives aim to give young and underprivileged people opportunities to experience the excitement of golf both on and off the course.<\/p>\n

Visiting golfers were invited to experience the city\u2019s cultural and culinary highlights including Tai Kwun in Central and Happy Wednesday races at Happy Valley Racecourse. These experiences helped to promote horse racing tourism and showcase Hong Kong\u2019s diverse attractions to a global audience.<\/p>\n

Through these activities and engagement opportunities, local residents had more opportunities to connect with golf, while top golfers and visitors from around the world experienced Hong Kong’s unique character and its capability to host high-caliber major events. This, in turn, helped strengthen the Hong Kong brand and share positive stories about the city.<\/p>\n

In 2024\/25, HKJC Charities Trust supported eight \u201cM\u201d 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\u2019s enthusiasm for sport but support the HKSAR Government in strengthening Hong Kong\u2019s status as a premier destination for outstanding sports competitions and major cultural events.<\/p>\n

HKJC\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
