The Community Chest Dress Casual Day, a much-anticipated fund-raising event for both working adults and students is going to take place on 29 October. As Hong Kong is now facing livelihood and pandemic challenges, this year’s Dress Casual Day aims to boost up the positive vibe for all Hongkongers with a fun and energetic theme “#wewewearwear”. It is fun and casual to wear your favourite outfits whilst raising funds for the needy, whether you are at office, at school or at home.

 

This year’s Dress Casual Day adds vitality by inviting pop band RubberBand, KOL Chan Ka-sin and Boris to film an uplifting thematic video, which will be launched on 23 September. Please stay tuned! Post-90s local illustrator and YouTuber Curry Cheung joined to design unique and vibrant promotional materials for the event.

For every contribution of $100 or above, participants will receive a limited-edition multi-use holder; for every contribution of $300 or above, an additional Under Armour SPORTSMASK (limited edition) will be given.
