Some 400 guests attended the “PolyU Charity Dinner 2012” on 9 March at the Hotel ICON. The event was one of the many celebratory activities of the University’s 75th anniversary. A highlight of the dinner was the charity auction of the precious items donated by friends of PolyU. Over HK$5.5 million was raised during the dinner. The net proceeds will be used to support the Community Service Campaign – “PolyU Serves” so that more new initiatives can be undertaken by students and staff in the future.

The officiating guests of the Dinner included the Honourable Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, Secretary for Labour and Welfare of HKSAR Government; Miss Cally Kwong, Chairlady of the Organizing Committee of the Dinner and Managing Director of Cally K Jewellery Limited; Dr Ng Tat-lun, Deputy Chairman of PolyU Council; Prof. Roy Chung Chi-ping and Dr Yip Kit-chuen, Honourable Chairmen of the Organizing Committee of the Dinner; and Prof. Timothy W.
