      Campaign Description

      We are starting the Support Our Sports (SOS) Project to help raise awareness of the economic impacts of the pandemic on sports locally here in Hong Kong. Through encouraging others to join our campaign and to donate, we hope to improve the situation for those sports programs most affected.

      We are looking to raise awareness for these coaches by encouraging others to walk 10,500 steps or to donate 105 HKD, to signify the 10,500 coaches who sought relief from the government. Our goal is to raise 10,500 HKD which will go to supporting the hard working coaches who faced extremely difficult circumstances during the coronavirus pandemic.

      Over the course of the pandemic, countless people have been affected, including the many sports coaches around the world who found themselves out of work, due to the worldwide halt of sports. In Hong Kong alone 10,500 coaches sought relief from the government, receiving a 7,500 HKD subsidy each. 67% of the coaches who made their living on sports lost their jobs during the pandemic, which is really quite sad to see, as they are the backbone of our sporting community. Our goal is to support them as we come out of the devastating pandemic and return to normal life.
