The inaugural UBS Hong Kong Open Charity Cup was hosted on October 28, 2015 at the Hong Kong Golf Club. The event organized by Friends of Asia Hong Kong was to raise fund to support the work of three local charities. Along with the other two worthy charities, Playright Hospital Play Services and InspiringHK Sports Foundation, Autism Partnership Foundation (APF) was chosen to be one of the beneficiaries of the Charity Cup. The charity event attracted over 200 golfers donating HK$5,000 each to Friends of Asia Hong Kong, the official charity of the UBS Hong Kong Open. The money raised from entry fees for the UBS Hong Kong Open Charity Cup was over HK$ 1 million, which Friends of Asia Hong Kong had pledged to match, bringing the total amount generated to an impressive HK$2.3 million which would be shared equally by the three charities.
Starting from 2016, APF will launch several much-needed programs to help support individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families, including creating a Parent Training Program to assist parents with ASD children and launching a vital new free Intensive one-month Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy Treatment Program for low-income families in Hong Kong. The program is a first of its kind in Hong Kong. With the support of the UBS Hong Kong Open Charity Cup, APF will be able to increase the access to these services for low income families when their children most need them.
“We are so grateful for the generous support from Friends of Asia Hong Kong and the golf community. With the fund generated from the golf event, we are now able to kick-start program we have dreamt about previously,”
Mr. Toby Mountjoy
