A Golden Opportunity
With amfAR’s TREAT Asia program improving HIV treatment and care throughout the Asia-Pacific region for the past 16 years, Hong Kong is a natural venue for the Foundation’s newest international fundraising gala. In its first three years, the amfAR Gala Hong Kong has established itself as one of the city’s premier charity events and has raised more than $11.5 million. Memorable Moments Jackie Chan surprised guests at the 2017 event and auctioned an opportunity for one lucky guest to appear in his upcoming film with Sylvester Stallone and to attend the movie’s premiere in Beijing. This once-in-a-lifetime role sold for the highest amount of the evening, $300,000. Event Chair Pansy Ho, a driving force behind the success of amfAR Gala Hong Kong, summoned all of the Event Co-Chairs in attendance at the 2016 event to the stage for a spectacular group photograph.
