To make our vision a reality, we needed to fundraise.
Our target was to achieve the first $50,000 by May 2019 for Phase 1, which would allow us to kickstart the project and invest in the essentials. These include:
1. Funding a local temple fight night
The first opportunity for young people to participate in our programme
Showcase for their hard work and training
Opportunity for local vendors to sell and promote their businesses
2. Building the gym!
Digging the foundations
Building the structure
Fitting the roof
And, with huge thanks to everyone who donated, we did it! HKD$50,000 raised through our gofundme campaign
To give you an idea of where the money went:
HK$10,000 paid for all the construction materials
HK$30,000 will covered the cost of building the exterior structure and the roof
HK$10,000 went towards the production of fight night 2019, including income for the fighters and all local vendors
Can't wait to get started on Phase 2....
