About
- Description
- In 1980，a group of former Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant titleholders and finalists talked about their dreams for Hong Kong and what they could do to touch the lives of those less fortunate. That dream became a reality in 1982 with the birth of the Wai Yin Club. In 1993, the Hong Kong Government certified the Club as the Wai Yin Association, a Charity Institute. Until now，Wai Yin has supported or organized countless charitable activities for individuals and institutions from Hong Kong, mainland China, Myanmar and other Asian Countries. Near hundred of non-government organizations, community centres and schools (including schools and facilities in Guizhou, Sichuan, North Thailand and Myanmar) are named after Wai Yin. Countless recipients, NGOs, charities, and individuals have reaped the rewards of its good work. With every passing year, the Association continues to thrive, serving as a model of hope as well as an inspiration of visionary leadership in social responsibility for the community of Hong Kong. With 40 years of philanthropic legacy, the unwavering commitment to charitable giving, as well as the experience and integrity of each member have made Wai Yin Association the most highly regarded charitable organization in the world whose members are beauty pageant title-holders and finalists. The Association received the “Citation for Impact on the Community” at the “HKMA/TVB Awards for Marketing Excellence 2008” organized by the Hong Kong Management Association and sponsored by Television Broadcasts Limited, for its outstanding contribution to society with effective marketing strategies in bringing awareness and aid to the causes that we all care about. Wai Yin Association has shown that despite differences in aspirations and goals, all sectors, private and public can successfully work together for the greater good of society, especially when we can share a common ideal of “Making a difference for a better tomorrow”. Objectives: Contribute to charitable works Support community services Support local cultural activities Support artists and promote the arts in Hong Kong Promote the international image of Hong Kong
