Looking back on the extraordinary 70 years of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), the HKBU Foundation (the Foundation) wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to all those partners who have journeyed alongside the University through its challenges and triumphs. Your generosity shines like warm beams of light, constantly illuminating each step made in HKBU’s growth and transformation.

In celebration of the University’s 70th anniversary, the Foundation is proud to present a series of donor stories that chronicle the profound bonds and significant contributions made by HKBU’s esteemed benefactors. The first story spotlights Dr. Lam Chi Fung, OBE, Founding President of Hong Kong Baptist College; his eldest son, Dr. Daniel H. Lam, CBE, LLD, JP; his second son Dr. David C. Lam, CVO, OC, OBC, MBA, LLD; and the family of his youngest son, Mr. Timothy Lam, whose dedication to HKBU has spanned three generations.

Since Dr. Lam Chi Fung founded the institution in 1956, members of the Lam family have not only held pivotal leadership roles in its development but also tirelessly championed campus construction and expansion, thereby ensuring a solid foundation for the University. This sustained devotion is evident in the many buildings, facilities and initiatives across the campus that bear their names — lasting tributes that remain deeply cherished by the entire HKBU community.
