That’s a wrap! Operation Santa Claus concludes 2022 campaign after raising HK$16.7 million for good causes across Hong Kong
- Last year’s campaign helped to fund 15 NGOs whose projects will support more than 12,000 disadvantaged people across Hong Kong
- Charity also marks end of 2022 campaign by handing out awards to those who went above and beyond, including Morgan Stanley and DSC International School
The initiative, which is jointly organised by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) and public broadcaster RTHK, marked its 35th anniversary by helping fund 15 local NGOs whose projects will support more than 12,000 disadvantaged people across the city in 2023.
The initiatives supported by the charity drive include those focusing on youngsters, the elderly and the environment, as well as people with physical and mental disabilities.
“Last year was the 35th anniversary of the OSC. We are so thankful to all our donors, both old and new, for making a difference in the community,” said Catherine So, the Post’s CEO. “Our community is our mission at SCMP, and we will continue to serve Hong Kong every day with future editions of OSC.”
Under the theme of “Sports and All’, the 2022 campaign included a wide range of fundraising activities, with more than 60 corporate and school donors, as well as thousands of Hongkongers, showing their support.
“Despite the challenges in 2022, we are thankful to have wrapped up another successful year,” said Amy Kwong Sze-yin, RTHK Controller (Radio). “With strong support from the community, we have made a significant impact for those in need in Hong Kong.”
The campaign also struck a chord with award-winning actress, singer and educator Crisel Consunji, with last year marking her second time as an OSC ambassador.
