As Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) celebrates its 70th anniversary, the HKBU Foundation (HKBUF) has achieved an exciting milestone - welcoming its 1,000th member. This achievement represents an impressive 663% increase in membership since its establishment, underscoring the growing support for the university's mission. This distinction is held by the Bright Future Charitable Foundation (BFCF), which is now recognised as Honorary Vice-President of the HKBUF.  

To commemorate this celebratory occasion, Mrs. Lily Chan, Director of University Advancement and Secretary-General of the HKBUF, presented a commemorative certificate and an exclusive gift to Dr. Roy Chung Chi Ping, GBS, JP, Founder and Chairman of the BFCF. Extending a warm welcome to BFCF, Mrs. Chan expressed the University’s heartfelt gratitude for the tremendous support it provides. 

Established by Dr. Chung in 2010, the BFCF is committed to empowering the younger generations to achieve a brighter future, both for themselves and the community at large. The BFCF’s wide-ranging initiatives include establishing scholarships, sponsoring polar expeditions, and supporting the WorldSkills Competition. In recent years, it has demonstrated its profound community commitment by actively addressing issues faced by Hong Kong’s ageing population through programmes that promote the well-being of the elderly.

Since its inception in 2009, the HKBUF has served as a vital bridge spanning the University and the community, consolidating support and resources to advance HKBU’s strategic development. The HKBUF will continue in its work to secure the vital resources needed for the University’s innovative projects and key initiatives. Hence, we invite community leaders and philanthropists who share our passion for education to join us in our collective efforts to nurture future leaders and build a brighter future for all.
