CHARITIES WE SUPPORT

While our major focus is on playing competitive tennis (and the pleasant social aspect of the post-match lunch), the HKLTL is also a philanthropic organization, having donated almost $1.7 Million to local and overseas charities and disaster relief efforts since 2002.  Our main fund-raising comes via the HKLTL Annual Awards Luncheon Lucky Draw (over 70% of all donations made have come from this event) and the Annual Christmas Tournament (which accounts for over 20% of all donations made).

Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic directly affected the charitable giving efforts of the HKLTL over the past two years.  We were unable to hold the HKLTL Annual Awards Luncheon or Annual Christmas Tournament fundraisers in 2020 or 2021.

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, charities the HKLTL has supported include:

• the Society for Community Organization (SoCO);
• PathFinders;
• Mother’s Choice;
• The Society for Relief of Disabled Children;
• Love 21 Foundation Limited;
• The Sprouts Foundation;
• HK Youth Diabetes Action;
• Riding for the Disabled (RDA);
• The Sunbeam Children's Foundation;
• HKTA Junior Tennis Development program; and 
• Birthday Happiness.

Additionally, over the years the HKLTL has made donations in the amount of $65,000 to various regional natural disaster relief initiatives in areas such as Nepal, the Philippines, Indonesia and Pakistan.

We look forward to resuming our fundraising efforts in the future and thank all the ladies who have contributed to the philanthropic efforts of the HKLTL previously.  Our financial assistance has helped change lives here in Hong Kong and in the region.
