Belmont Financial Group Raises $1million for HK Breast Cancer Foundation

60 Wyndham Street, Hong Kong, October 21, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The bake sales, quiz nights, stair climbs and golf tournaments have paid off – official figures are in, and Belmont Financial has raised more than HK$1 million for the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation. Belmont staff members designed their own fundraising activities, and volunteered on the street collecting donations from the public, raising a total of HK$1,000,022 (USD $129,034).

Belmont Chief Executive Alexander Larsson said the firm set itself an ambitious target for what is one of its major sponsorships. “We have more than 800 people all around the country, and it was great to see everybody pulling together to get us to our target,” he said. “We have a long association with the HK Breast Cancer Foundation, and our staff are right behind the important work that they do. Helping Hong Kong’s people and their families with cancer was a powerful motivation for everybody to go the extra fundraising mile.” The Belmont Fund-raising Dinner and Charity Auction attended by private and institutional customers raised HK$145,000.

The money raised will go towards scientific research into the causes and treatment of all types of cancers, and also to providing support services for people that are impacted by it
