This year marks the 19th Anniversary of the Hebe Haven Yacht Club 24 Hour Charity Dinghy Race. The Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF) has been honourably chosen as the beneficiary organisation. Since 2002, more than HK$8.6 million has been raised from the race supporting our works, and 88 patients have benefited from this event.

We are very grateful to HHYC for sponsoring the Pico training for our survivors. Since 2011, the Club has been providing five-day free Pico sailing training for more than 70 childhood cancer survivors to prepare them to participate in the 24HR Charity Dinghy Race, leading to the establishment of the CCF Sunshine Team. This opportunity has opened up a whole new world for our survivors, all of whom have gone through life-threatening illnesses as a child, and some were even told that they could never play sports again due to their physical impairment such as loss of limb, loss of vision, loss of coordination, loss of balance, etc., rendered from the late effect of their treatments or illnesses. The training provided by the Club has strengthened them not only physically but also psychologically. It enhances their self-esteem and helps them to learn more about their physical ability.

As a long-time partner, CCF always feels the event like a big family gathering, allowing our patients and families to have two days of fun at the carnival, sailing for a great sense of accomplishment, and cheering for their sons and daughters. Once again, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable support that the Hebe

我們感謝白沙灣遊艇會贊助康復者參 與 Pico 航海訓練。自 2011 年起，白沙 灣遊艇會為超過 70 名兒童癌症康復者 提供為期 5 天的免費 Pico 航海訓練， 讓他們為參與 24 小時慈善小艇賽作準 備，及後更成立了兒童癌病基金陽光 隊。這個機會為我們的康復者打開了一 個全新的世界。他們自兒時開始經歷危 及生命的疾病，部份甚至獲告知由於如 失去肢體、視力、協調或平衡能力等因 治療或疾病引致的後遺症及身體殘障， 將再也無法參與任何運動。由遊艇會提 供的訓練活動不只強化了他們的身體， 亦讓他們的心智變得更強大。既加強了 他們的自信心，亦有助他們更了解自己 的身體能力。 作為長期合作夥伴，兒童癌病基金始終 認為這個賽事就像一場盛大的家庭聚 會，讓我們的患者和家屬在兩天的嘉年 華中盡興，為揚帆出航感受滿滿的成就 感，讓他們為兒女加油打氣。我們在此 再次向白沙灣遊艇會多年來為兒童癌病

This charity event, as in the past years, has brought forth the outstanding winners, as well as considerable charity funds to help the under privileged.

Another year of great fun at Hebe Haven Yacht Club’s 24 Hour Charity Dinghy Race! This year we have some of our member to experience the dinghy race for the first time! And they were all having great times.

Thanks for this great opportunity to let more parties know about our social services and conservation project in Sai Kung. Thanks again for the continuous supports from Hebe Haven Yacht Club. See you next year!

Charity sailing, sailing Charity—fundraising for Charity was a primary goal for all of us at the 24 Hour event. We’ve been in the race from the very beginning and always raised a reasonable amount. Somehow we stopped for a while as we drained with ways to raise more money every year.

Then back in 2019 one of our teammate took up the task as the “Money Man” to do the push for fundraising. He targeted different sponsors from his business and private connection and the result was overwhelming. Our team been the top fundraiser in three consecutive events & raised more than half a million.

Our success is very much team work. We’re having around 10 skeleton team members responsible for different roles plus we add new members every year as a catalyst with new sources to raise more money.

的「金融家」，承擔了這個要推動更多募捐活 動的任務。他從自己的業務和私人關係中對準 了不同的目標贊助商，並且獲得了非常驚人的 成果。我們於連續3屆賽事中成爲了籌款最多 的隊伍，所得善款超過 50 萬元。 Sai Kung District Community Centre 水木橋

Every event we are having around 30 members with 24 to race (2 members/2 hours shift) and the rest as on shore support. Thanks to the support from yacht Groovy (高 飛) we’ve been using as our basecamp to provide F&B and resting place for the crews.

We also designed team T shirts for the event with logo from our major sponsors. Some people were teasing as it looked like billboard. We care less as it’s all about charity.
