Charity Foundation

In view of over hundred thousands of precious lives taken by the big tsunami of the century, a charitable show "Together We Care, Love for South Asia" was initiated by "Emperor Charity Foundation" to raise the awareness from the community and to encourage all circles making donation benevolently. Given that the tickets were sold merely within Emperor Group and everybody in the Group responded to the single call, 2,000 tickets were sold out within one day in spite of pressing time. All the proceeds of the tickets received from Emperor Charity Foundation went to Hong Kong Red Cross for disaster relief.
