PIZZAEXPRESS

FUNDRAISING

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

...at least we seem to think so at PizzaExpress. A big part of our mission goes beyond serving the best Italian pizza in Hong Kong, we also believe it is our corporate responsibility to support local and regional charities. Since 2001 PizzaExpress has supported The Matilda Sedan Chair Race Charities Fund, who distributes their donations to needy local charities, by collecting money on behalf of cutomers who order the Soho Pizza. Whenever a customer orders the Soho Pizza $5 is donated on their behalf to the MSCRC Fund. Over the past four years the total has amounted to more than $140,000. This scheme has proven so successful that in 2002 we reached out to help the Chi Heng Foundation, a group that sponsers the education of children in China that have been orphaned by AIDS. When customers order the Peking Duck pizza $5 is donated on their behalf. So far, from this effort we have managed to raise $44,000.

The Matilda Sedan Chair Charities Fund was established to raise money for needy charities in Hong Kong, many of which are dedicated to improving the welfare of Hong Kong's young people. The charitable organizations which are supported generally do not receive assistance from the main fundraising bodies like Community Chest, Hong Kong Jockey Club or the Government and are reliant on the continuous efforts from the MSCCF.

Care for Children exists to relieve hardship, distress and sickness in abandoned and orphaned children in China by the introduction of strategic initiatives in child care practice and has a vision to see 1 million children in families by 2010.

The success of Care for Children working in partnership with the Shanghai Government led to an invitation from the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Beijing to work together with the China Social Work Association (an organ of the central government) on a national program in the 14 poorest provinces. On the 29th May 2003, Care for Children signed a five-year contract to replicate the successful Shanghai project in the 14 poorest provinces (85% of geographical China ) that could change the face of social welfare in China.

The need placed before Care for Children is unchanged - to establish family based care, so that orphaned and abandoned children can grow and develop in the love and care of a family environment.

The Chi Heng Foundation is based in Hong Kong and was founded in 1998 after the blood doning tradegy in China. In the 1990's, blood selling became popular in Henan and other parts of Central China, especially among poor farmers as a means to earn extra money. Many blood collecting stations operated illegally and used unsanitary practices for blood collection. As a result, estimates of 60-80% of the adult population is infected with HIV in numerous villages. A large part of the Foundations work is with children who have been orphaned or who have parents that are HIV positive and making sure that they are receiving adequate educational and mental suppor
