Hong Kong SAR, China, 9 December 2024 – Marco Polo Hotels – Hong Kong proudly hosted a Christmas party on 7 December in collaboration with the Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF), marking the ninth consecutive year of this heart-warming event. Welcoming 70 participants from 23 families, the gathering brought joy and warmth to young patients who are bravely fighting cancer.

The festive celebration included a Christmas cookie-making workshop led by the hotel’s talented pastry chefs. Children and their parents had the opportunity to unleash their creativity by crafting and decorating unique holiday cookies. After the workshop, guests indulged in a lavish Christmas buffet filled with gourmet delights as they enjoyed an atmosphere of joy and togetherness. As a special treat, each child received a Christmas gift set that included delicious desserts made by Marco Polo Hotels – Hong Kong’s chefs as well as a game set generously donated by Toys“R”Us.

Mr. Gerhard Aicher, Area General Manager of Marco Polo Hotels – Hong Kong, expressed his gratitude by stating: “We are honoured to collaborate with the Children’s Cancer Foundation for the ninth consecutive year and are grateful for the generous donation from Toys“R”Us, which brought extra joy to the children.

My heartfelt thanks go to the Children’s Cancer Foundation for their partnership, and to our dedicated team for making today’s event a success. Every step we take counts, and Marco Polo Hotels – Hong Kong remains committed to supporting the community through additional CSR initiatives.”
