Charity dinner event - 2015 San Fernando Race RHKYC
Foreign dignitaries, prominent members of the sailing fraternity and a cast of sailors gathered at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club on Friday 15 May for the San Fernando Charity Dinner. This special event included a live auction that raised an estimated HK$545,000 for the Faith Rescue Home in San Fernando, Philippines.
Bernardita Catalla, Consul General of the Philippines, welcomed the many guests in attendance, including her foreign counterparts from Thailand, Kuwait and Pakistan, and praised the Club for its efforts and generosity. She asked that others support the efforts of the Club in the future, given the importance of this donation to the Philippines and its people.
The 2017 San Fernando Race from Hong Kong to the Philippines will mark the 40th Anniversary of this major offshore yacht race and the 30th year that the race has provided valuable financial support for the home.
