The evening of October 24th will be remembered as a milestone in global philanthropy. “The Children Ball – A Night of Hope, Strength, and Inspiration,” the charity gala co-organized by the WEMP Foundation and the Rafa Nadal Foundation at the Rosewood Hong Kong hotel, was an overwhelming success that exceeded all expectations, both in attendance and funds raised.
The event, which featured prominent figures from Asian society and the business world, as well as renowned philanthropists, achieved a historic fundraising total that will be entirely allocated to the child welfare projects developed by both foundations.
Dr. Adrian Cheng, founder of the WEMP Foundation, and Rafael Nadal, founder of the Rafa Nadal Foundation, hosted a magical evening. Throughout the event, both emphasized the importance of international collaboration and the power of sport and education as catalysts for change.
“Last night demonstrated that when we join forces, our impact multiplies. I am deeply grateful to Rafael Nadal, all the sponsors, and attendees for their generosity and for believing in our shared mission to create a better future for children,” stated Dr. Cheng at the conclusion of the event.
For his part, Rafael Nadal added: “It was an exciting night filled with positive energy. Seeing how the Hong Kong community responded with such enthusiasm to this project reaffirms our commitment. We have been working for 15 years to unlock the potential of young people through sport and education, and partnerships like this allow us to reach much further.”
The gala not only served to raise funds but also to strengthen a strategic alliance.
Its success sets a precedent for future collaborations and solidifies Hong Kong as a pivotal hub for global philanthropy.
