‘Operation Santa Claus holds special meaning for us’: Hong Kong’s Lan Kwai Fong Group spreads festive joy through contributions to annual charity drive
- Operation Santa Claus excels in supporting wide range of NGOs, benefiting underprivileged families and children, Lan Kwai Fong Group chairman Allan Zeman says
- This year, the group donated special items to Operation Santa Claus’ online charity auction, which concluded on December 13
Allan Zeman, chairman of the Lan Kwai Fong Group and owner of Paradise Properties Group in Thailand, believes that the festive season of Christmas is the perfect time to spread joy and bring happiness to people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
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.
The prizes included a tasting dinner for two at Kyoto Joe, a seven-course tasting dinner for two at Aria, a weekend brunch for four at Porterhouse and a stay for four at Andara Resort & Villas in Phuket, Thailand.
