Bosco Charity Association Annual Charity Ball 2015
Bosco Charity Association Annual Charity Ball 2015 has been successfully held on the 16th October, 2015 (Friday) at the Grand Ballroom, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. This year we have Cornerstone Financial Group and its subsidiary company Capital Focus Asset Management Limited as the title sponsor of the event. The theme of the Ball is “Our Youth Our Future”. Over 400 honorable guests attended. The guests are mainly BCA members and their friends, and many of whom joined for the second time to support this meaningful event.
It was an evening of great enjoyment – delicious food, great wine, and professional live performances including rumba and jive dances performed by world-class Ballroom dance champions and a hip hop dance performed by the Don Bosco South Asian youths, who have been trained with full funding from BCA.
Live auction was presented by Mr Adrian Pang, a professional auctioneer and a good friend of BCA.The auction raised a total sum of $330,000 for 10 items, including 5 art pieces donated by the Salesian fathers, 4 print-works and a painting donated by Mr Alex Ho.The selling of raffle tickets contributed a delightful amount of $189,600 to the fund. This was made possible by engaging a team of distinguished and pretty lady I-bankers and investors to help boosting the sales. After the final 6 grand prizes of raffle were presented on stage to the lucky winners, charming music played by a professional Filipino live band started again for dance lovers to enjoy.
The event raised a total sum of about HK$1.6 million this year. The result is very delightful and encouraging to BCA for its future growth.
