OSC 2011 Annual Report - Operation Santa Claus
Operation Santa Claus 2011 Report Joint Organiser: Operation Santa Claus 2011 Report 1 Give the Gift of Hope this Christmas! 2 Operation Santa Claus 2011 Report Operation Santa Claus – 24 years of giving to the needy Left to right: Roy Tang Yun-kwong, Director of Broadcasting; David Pang, SCMP Group Chairman; Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, Secretary for Development; Cliff Buddle, Acting Editor-in-chief, South China Morning Post; Bryan Curtis, RTHK’s Head of English Programme Service; and Gordon Fuller, General Manager of Grand Hyatt Hotel Hong Kong, attend Operation Santa Claus (OSC) closing ceremony at Grand Hyatt Hotel, Wan Chai. For many of those in need, Christmas doesn’t always bring joy. Instead, the season of plenty sometimes just accentuates the misery for those that lack the means to improve their lives. To give hope to such causes, South China Morning Post (SCMP) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) began their annual fundraiser, Operation Santa Claus (OSC) in 1988. Now one of the most successful and beloved Hong Kong charity initiatives, OSC has raised in the region of HK$170 million and benefited around 158 charities during its 24 year history. Key figures associated with OSC’s most recent campaign included Honorary Patron, Mrs. Selina Tsang, wife of the Chief Executive, and Cantopop star, Ms. Joyce Cheng, who served as Ambassador. The theme for the 14 November, 2011 to 18 January, 2012 campaign was ‘All I want for Christmas is to be able to walk… to smile... to laugh!’. In addition to extensive daily coverage in the SCMP and on RTHK Radio 3, OSC 2011 attracted an incredible outpouring of communitywide support spanning not only individuals but also corporations, foundations, clubs, associations and schools. This year’s campaign was a record breaker, raising HK$17,500,000 for Hong Kong’s most deserving causes and neediest individuals. Secretary for Development Mrs. Carrie Lam “ Most of the beneficiaries aren’t big names that can organise fundraisers every year... Smaller NGOs that might not have the track record to receive government subsidies really benefit from community and corporate contributions.” Cheng Yuet-ngor, GBS, JP Operation Santa Claus 2011 Report 1 Donors and Fundraising Events Major Donors OSC 2011 featured 27 major donors; leading local corporations and foundations who each donated at least HK$150,000. Some major donors were interviewed on RTHK3 and all had their logo highlighted in SCMP’s City Section daily OSC Christmas tree between 1 December, 2011 and 1 January, 2012. Morgan Stanley executives and junior choristers lift their voices at Elements mall to raise a record HK$2.45 million for Operation Santa Claus. Bank of America Merrill Lynch senior executives and vice-chairman of the Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club tee off for Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s OSC Charity Golf Day at the club.

Also worthy of everyone’s thanks were seven first time major donors: CITIC Bank International, Cruciani Bracelet, Deacons, Li & Fung (1906) Foundation, Segantii Capital, Swire Properties Ltd. and Wellcome. Like Morgan Stanley, the Swire Trust has also been closely involved with OSC for 15 years. Supporters of at least 10 years’ standing included Bank of America Merrill Lynch, the Five-A-Side Football Tournament, JP Morgan and UBS AG. UBS raised an extraordinary HK$1,800,000, of which HK$1,600,000 was donated by trading floor staff and clients who dressed up in colourful costumes. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch also deserves a special mention for raising over HK$1,600,000 at various events including its OSC Charity Golf Day and Office Mini Golf day. Other key OSC 2011 Corporate donations came from the 14 teams who helped raised some HK$1,500,000 by playing in fancy dress at the Wing Ding Squash Tournament and its associated charity auctions. The 24 junior and 20 corporate sides who fought it out in 2011’s Five-a-side Football Tournament and its accompanying quiz night also raised a commendable HK$1,100,000. Sponsored singing was the order of the day at Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, where a Charity Musical Christmas Lunch raised almost HK$800,000. Heartfelt thanks must also go to J.P. Morgan for winning ‘Most Creative Group Award’ with their in-house dumpling eating contest, and Sino Land who hosted charity sales of featured Casa Eva and Christmas Anime Parents and pupils of the Discovery Mind Kindergarten raised over HK$100,000 with their charity walk in Discovery Bay. photo frames at tmtplaza and Olympian City. Corporate Donors In 2011, 56 corporations helped raise around HK$909,586 for OSC. Highlights in this area included Linklaters’ Solicitors’ Carol Service, plus charity sales by GREAT Food Hall and Sino Group of Hotels. Sporting standouts included a UBS’ Victoria Harbour-Hole-in-One challenge plus a Harry Wright International and West Island School Swimming Gala. Other generous corporate donors included Item Industries Ltd., Bandon Enterprises Ltd., Providence Foundation, Starlit Way Ltd., Camay Garments Factory, GM Metal Packaging Ltd. and Wing Hang Bank. Clubs & Associations The 13 clubs and associations who supported OSC 2011 contributed some HK$279,217 to the needy. First time supporters included Aberdeen Boat Club, Sai Kung Christmas Quiz, and a Strings Camerata Concert organised by a group of strings players. Other important initiatives in this area included the Police Tactical Unit’s Team Building Programme with police dogs participation, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club’s Letters to Santa Scheme and the 2011 OSC Hash. School Donors Last year also saw 26 schools raise HK$583,147 for OSC. Key first-time supporters included the German Swiss International and Marymount Secondary schools. Last year’s ‘Top School Fundraiser Award’ went to Discovery Mind Kindergarten who raised HK$110,644 from their 7th annual Charity Walk across Discovery Bay. Joining them atop the winner’s podium as ‘Most Creative School’ was St. Mark’s School whose calendar of unique events included a famine experiencing camp. Many other schools also earned beneficiaries’ eternal gratitude by hosting a variety of bazaars and football, basketball and talent competitions. Logos of major donors for OSC 2011 featured on Christmas tree published in the City section of SCMP for the whole of December 2011. Individual and Online Donors The 350 individuals who generously donated HK$1,500,000 included one anonymous supporter who donated an astonishing HK$500,000! Staff and clients of banking group UBS get into character for a day of fund-raising and games. “Operation Santa Claus has been very successful. It focuses on community groups and NGOs, which are less well-known to Hong Kong society. It also allows RTHK and the SCMP to give them coverage, reporting their work to the wider public. This is professional. It is an approach that all community projects in Hong Kong should emulate.” Chief Secretary Mr. Stephen Lam Sui-lung, GBS, JP Credit Suisse staff volunteers and young Elmo So at the Queen Mary Hospital.

Operation Santa Claus 2011 Report 3 Santa’s Sports Day Santa’s Sports Day puts the fun into fund raising Some of the 90 participants in the OSC 2011 Santa’s Sports Day compete in a sack race for charity at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground. A pioneering new fundraising initiative which succeeded in raising HK$270,000, the OSC-organised Santa’s Sports Day took place on Sunday 6 November, 2011 at Ma On Shan Sports Ground. The first of its three rounds of team building games included a ‘Go-for-Goal’ challenge plus ‘Three-legged’, ‘Reindeer Chair’ and ‘Santa’s Sack Skipping’ races. Everyone subsequently pitted their wits in a ‘Santa’s Balancing’ game before joining a third and final round ‘Tug-of-War’. In all, seven caring corporations including Cathay Pacific Airways, Convenience Retail Asia Ltd., Li & Fung Trading, Melco Group, Sino Group, Toys“R”us and Trinity Ltd., sent a total of nine teams of 10 players to the event. The day’s top honours went to Cathay Pacific Airways (‘Champion of the Day’) and Li & Fung Group (‘Most Supportive Corporation’ for sending six teams from its subsidiaries). Special thanks must also go to the Police Tactical Unit for providing an official judge and the St. John’s Ambulance Brigade for supporting on-site medical services. In addition to individual attendees, OSC 2011 would also like to extend its appreciation to the event’s various sponsors. They included Mr. George Ng who supported the event’s expenses, Cathay Pacific Airways who donated complimentary air tickets as prize for ‘Champion of the Day’, Watsons Water who supplied distilled water and Envirosax who gave away printed fabric bags. Publicity and Marketing Santa’s work begins well before the donations come in While it only lasts for around six weeks, each OSC campaign involves extensive advance planning. 2011’s programme kicked off with the posting of a ‘The Season of Goodwill Begins’ notice in the SCMP in late May. Still more awareness was generated by similarly timed announcements on the official osc.scmp.com and www.scmp.com websites and via the distribution of an e-newsletter to members of Wisegiving. Getting into the seasonal swing, South China Morning Post publishes daily articles about both beneficiaries and donors between 14 November, 2011 and 18 January, 2012, and coverage of school activities appear in Young Post from 20 October, 4 Operation Santa Claus 2011 Report 2011 all the way to 19 January, 2012. In addition to this extensive coverage, OSC specific events such as Santa’s Sports Day were covered in other media. There were also audio and video podcasts plus RTHK reports on the opening and closing ceremonies at http://rthk.hk/special/osc2011/. Visible on a daily basis, outdoor media such as buses running between Hong Kong and Kowloon between 1 and 28 November 2011 also featured prominently. Traditional publicity channels such as posters and leaflets were also used to complement ‘newer’, less traditional media such as the official osc.scmp.com website and a Facebook page, plus various eDMs to SCMP subscribers and readers. The end result was a clearly thought-out and carefully co-ordinated campaign that touched hearts throughout Hong Kong. In addition to individuals from all walks of life, the OSC 2011 message succeeded in reaching virtually every local company, school and professional and social body.

Operation Santa Claus 2011 Report 5 OSC 2011 Beneficiaries and their Projects’ Highlights OSC 2011 project highlights One of the toughest tasks facing OSC organisers each year is deciding which worthy causes benefit from donors’ kindness. In 2011, OSC was inundated with over 80 funding proposals.
