On 17 April 2018, Stevenson, Wong & Co. Partner Ms. Sherlynn Chan was invited to attend Heep Hong Society’s 55th Anniversary Charity Dinner 2018 at Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong. The theme of the dinner was “Growing Potential Shining Tomorrow”. The charity dinner was well received and drew more than 400 philanthropists and dignitaries, including Mr. Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, Chief Secretary for Administration of HKSAR, Mr. Patrick Nip Tak-kuen, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs of HKSAR, Mr. Caspar Tsui Ying-wai, Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Ms. Carol Yip Man-kuen, Director of Social Welfare, Mr. Lau Ming-wai, Vice-Chairman for Youth Development Commission, and Heep Hong Ambassadors Mr. Sunny Chan Kam-hung and Ms. Ada To Man-wai.
At the dinner, children from Heep Hong showcased their talents and impressed the guests with their singing and dancing performances. Parents of children with special needs also shared their parenting experience and challenges. Special guest was renowned songwriter, musical director and singer Mr. Anthony Lun, whose splendid performance of his classic hits elicited rounds of applause from the guests. More than 20 luxury items were sold for charity at the live auction and silent auction. The donations will go to the Children and Youth Training Fund for the benefit of children and youth who are on the waiting list for government-subvented rehabilitation services, giving them the chance to receive professional training to enhance their social communication skills, as well as to participate in social adaptation activities, facilitating their integration into the community.
