For the love of the game
We set out to give used tennis balls a second life. With funding from the Recycling Fund, Sports for Hope Foundation set up collection points at more than 50 tennis centres across Hong Kong.
Our Mission
We help talented young athletes in Hong Kong who face financial barriers pursue their sport. We fund training and provide support in sports psychology, nutrition and physiotherapy so they can compete at the highest level and develop the perseverance and sense of responsibility that carry beyond sport.
The Foundation
Sports for Hope Foundation was founded to give young people in Hong Kong who face financial barriers the chance to train and compete. Through sport, students have gained confidence in their abilities and built a stronger sense of belonging at school.
The Chinese character 「燃」 in our logo means “ignite.” It reflects our belief that a chance to play can spark the confidence to see how far you can go.
What we support
We put that belief into practice by helping more students take part in school sports and supporting promising young athletes as they develop their talent.
Sports Legacy Programme
We helped bring experienced coaches into Hong Kong secondary schools, giving students the chance to train and compete as part of a school team.
Sports for Elite
We supported the Outstanding Junior Athlete Awards and funded scholarships and training for student athletes at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
