One of the ways in which the Lan Kwai Fong Group has participated in charitable endeavours during the festive season is by donating to Operation Santa Claus (OSC), an annual charity drive organised by the Post and public broadcaster RTHK.

“OSC holds a special meaning for us. Christmas should be a time of joy and togetherness, regardless of nationality or culture,” Zeman said.

“At Lan Kwai Fong, our mission is to bring happiness to people. Supporting OSC allows us to extend that mission and make a positive impact on the community during the festive season.”

This year, the entertainment, travel and hospitality services group donated special items to OSC’s online charity auction, which concluded on December 13, with all proceeds of HK$12,750 (US$1,786) going directly to support the annual drive.
