Your generosity exceeded our goals!
Our heartfelt thanks go out to all of you who attended and supported YAMA Foundation’s first fundraising gala on Saturday 21 September 2024.
We were completely blown away by your generous contributions. Together, we exceeded our interim fundraising goal of HK$500,000 and raised just over HK$820,000!
Thanks to you, we are almost at our target of HK$1 million!
OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL
All the proceeds will go towards opening an Accessible Wellbeing Centre, purpose-built for people with disabilities and special needs.
We estimate the renovations and first-year rent to cost HK$1 million, and thanks to your generosity, we are 82% of the way there! You can follow our fundraising progress and donate directly to the cause here.
THANK YOU TO OUR GUESTS
To all who attended the gala: thank you for dedicating your Saturday to this cause, despite the heavy rain! Thank you for participating in all the activities with such joy. Having everyone gathered under the same roof to support the same cause was truly moving.
Most of all, thank you for recognising the importance of making wellbeing services accessible to people who need them most.
Below are a few highlights from the event:
