Our vision for the OxPASS x CUHKCAS Charity Dinner is to raise funds in support of the Society for Community Organization(SoCO) whilst bringing together alumni and current Hong Kong students from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The meaningful and memorable evening will feature a range of exciting events, fromspectacular performances by our student acapella groups, a silent auction, to a raffle draw of thrilling prizes.We are also grateful to have, asthe Honorable Guest Speaker, Professor Joseph Sung (沈祖堯), SBS, JP, Vice-Chancellor of the ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong. As we are striving to raise awareness of our societies' endeavors beyond the student body, we would welcome alumni and their guests to join us for the evening.This will be the perfect occasion for alumni to get together in support of a meaningful cause, and to mix with some of our current students.

The beneficiary of the dinner,SoCO (Society for Community Organisation, 香港社區組織協會),is a non-profit-making and non-governmental welfare organization established in 1972 that assiststhe underprivileged in Hong Kong and fights for their social rights through various grassroots projects. Some of their target groups include those living in caged homes, new immigrants, children living in poverty, the homeless, and the neglected elderly. All proceeds will be donated towards their Community Learning Centre that offers over 1000 disadvantaged children in Sham Shui Po with free study support, interest classes, and study. We feel that this project is consistent with the values we wish to promote and so we seek to bring attention to the difficult situation many disadvantaged children face.

We would be absolutely delighted if you were able to accept our invitation. We do believe it will be a great occasionto facilitate bonding between current students and alumni, all the while supporting a worthwhile cause. We hope you will also consider contributing to thisby sponsoring words of encouragements in our event booklet. Thank you very much for your kind consideration, and we look forward to your reply.
