Force raises $600,000 in
Law Enforcement Torch Run
Over 900 members of the Force and their families showed strong support for the fund-raiser, "Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics", at the Sha Tin Town Hall Plaza on May 16.
Immediately after Commissioner Tang King-shing and other guests officiated at an opening ceremony, the torch run commenced with Assistant Commissioner (Operations) Wong Chi-hung leading Force runners on a route along the Shing Mun River.
The Force raised over $608,000 out of a total donation of more than $2 million. The top three fund-raising Formations were Information Systems Wing, Kowloon West Region and Personnel Wing. As an individual donor, Chief Inspector Chan Ngai-yu contributed the third highest amount.
The Hong Kong Police Volunteer Services Corps provided over 100 volunteers to perform various duties throughout the event.
