This Christmas, our MBA team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has taken up the Operation Santa Claus MBA Challenge to raise funds and awareness for Hong Kong charities over the winter festive season.

Our team has been awarded the highest seed capital from Swire Properties to help kick start our fundraising plans!

Here’s what we will do and how YOU can be part of it!

POP UP CHRISTMAS TREE

All throughout December, we will be touring our uniquely designed, hand-made POST-IT Christmas tree filled with warm festive messages. There will be a permanent location at the The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and at selected locations in the city.

At these locations, we encourage you to make a donation to Operation Santa Claus and “Tag Your Love” on tree to help make it one of the biggest Post It Tree that has been created in Hong Kong! Our event will include fun photo-taking opportunities and gifts!
