HKGCC Free Ride Day

Dear Members, As you may be aware, the Chamber will hold the ‘HKGCC Free Ride Day’ on Tuesday, 29 May, 2012. The event aims to bring the whole community and members closer, while at the same time enhance public awareness of the work of the Chamber, as well as show how the business sector is happy to give back to the community. We launched Free Ride Day at our 150th anniversary last year, and it was so well received by the public and media that we hope to make it an annual event. This year, Metro Broadcast and Sing Tao Group have teamed up with the Chamber to join in the public spirit of the event by providing extensive media exposure before, during and after the event. Many large corporations have also joined us to show their community spirit by signing up. A number of members have told us that they also want to give back to the community by celebrating Free Ride Day with us, but that they prefer a simpler benefits package than the one originally offered. As we want to involve as many members as possible, we have decided to act on their suggestions and also offer a simple package so that all members can join in Free Ride Day. I would like to invite you to join in this highly visible corporate social responsibility event by sponsoring a simple package for $10,000. In addition to being seen as a caring company and receiving public recognition, your company’s name will be listed in Headline Daily, Sing Tao Daily and The Standard, in a post-event feature in The Bulletin and on the Chamber's Website, as well as antique tram banners and various posters on Star Ferry Piers. We also will present you with a Certificate of Appreciation at a Press Conference on May 17. I sincerely hope that you will join us in showing the business sector’s care for the community by signing up for this new package. Please download the simple participation form from (http://www.chamber.org.hk/freeride/reply.pdf) and return it to us before May 15.  Should you require further information, please feel free to contact Ms Christina Lau, Senior Manager of Membership and Marketing, at 2823 1256.
