The annual Dress Casual Day will return on Friday, 28 October. Themed “we CARE we WEAR”, the event encourages students and working adults to put on their comfortable casual outfits and treat each other with tender love and care at anytime, anywhere. 

Tencent Charity Foundation will join hands with the Chest to initiate a donation matching for Dress Casual Day 2022 – it will make an extra donation of HK$20 for every participant joining the event with a total cap of HK$10 million. As conveyed by the Little Safflower, we work “Together for Good” and encourage greater participation so that more funds can be raised to benefit the needy in Hong Kong, making every small act of kindness more powerful than it seems. All funds raised will be allocated in full to support diverse and pertinent social services provided by the Chest’s 168 member agencies.

Anyone is welcome to participate in Dress Casual Day by making a donation of HK$70 or more. Students can enrol through their schools with no minimum donation amount. All participants will receive a specially designed face mask so that they can put it on with their favourite causal outfits on the day of the event and turn a normal weekday into a meaningful one. Also, local illustrator Kazy Chan gave colour to the event by designing positive vibes promotional materials.

To learn more and enrol, please visit the Dress Casual Day webpage at www.commchest.org/event/DCD2022/en, or contact the Chest Office at  2599 6111. Latest information will also be announced on the Chest’s Facebook page and Instagram account.

Since its inception in 1993, Dress Casual Day has raised accumulatively over HK$500 million with more than 10 million participants. Its success wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of all participants and corporate supporters: Diamond Sponsors Hang Seng Bank and Nameson Group Limited, Silver Sponsor Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited, Mask Sponsor HEK (HK) Limited and Incentive Sponsor German Pool (Hong Kong) Limited. Our deepest appreciation also goes to Harbour City, Times Square and Plaza Hollywood, and Media Partner New Media Group for their full support.
