Lifewire's first charity dinner [Children's Lifewire Gala Dinner 2023] has come to a successful end! Thanks to the participation of sick children and their families, and the support of benefactors, the dinner raised more than 1.9 million dollars
Nearly 800,000 of them came from a charity auction at the dinner, including artist Alex Fong donated his treasured Tokyo Olympics Polo Shirt signed by Tokyo Olympics individual gold medalist in fencing, Edgar Cheung Ka Long, for children with rare diseases. Although Alex Fong was unable to attend that night, he made a video to urge everyone to support him.
He introduced in the video that the shirt was signed by him personally to Cheung Ka Long that day: "There is still the smell of the Tokyo Olympics, and my smell" HThe shirt is described as a pair of swords between him and Ka-Long Cheung, and is extremely valuable. He urges everyone to bid for charity. This Polo Shirt, which is of great significance, eventually raised HK$41,000 for charity. We are grateful for the support of Mr. Alex Fong!
