The China Hongqiao Group (“Hongqiao”) Limited has pledged HK$70 million to support CityUHK's research initiatives and establish an endowed fund for community engagement projects through the “CityUHK Endowment Campaign”. This generous contribution marks Hongqiao as a first-time donor of CityUHK and underscores their commitment to advancing world-class research and the well-being of the local community.
During the banquet in celebration of CityUHK 30th Anniversary and CityUHK Foundation 10th Anniversary, Mr Lester Garson Huang, Chairman of the Council, and Professor Freddy Boey, President, presented a certificate of the new Honorary Patron of the CityUHK Foundation to Ms Zhang Linlin, wife of the Chairman and CEO of Hongqiao, officially recognising Hongqiao’s staunch support for the University.
The newly established “Hongqiao Endowed Fund for Community Care” will enable CityUHK to strengthen meaningful connections with the local community through diverse projects, which will address critical social issues, improve livelihoods, and foster positive societal changes.
CityUHK is deeply grateful to Hongqiao for their commitment to our shared goals and looks forward to embarking on this journey with Hongqiao to inspire future generations and create a lasting impact.
