Setting the gender agenda

This year the event aims to raise HK$ 3 million to support scholarships, financial literacy programmes, a leadership and gender awareness programme for teens with high potential, a lifeskills programme to empower teens to think beyond gender stereotypes and a mentoring programme for female leaders. Guests can expect live entertainment, gift bags full of goodies from Lancôme, Clé de Peau Beauté and others, and a silent auction with more than 60 luxurious lots, including a “dream dinner date” with Vivienne Tam, Jimmy Choo handbags and jewellery from Piaget.
