HONG KONG. We’re proud to bring you video coverage of The Moodie Report 10th Anniversary Charity Ball in Hong Kong, held on 5 October at Hotel Icon*.
Around 370 guests attended the event, including greater China travel retailers Sky Connection, King Power Group (HK), DFS, Ever Rich and Sunrise Duty Free; and overseas retailers including Dubai Duty Free and World Duty Free Group. The sold-out occasion also attracted a tremendous array of brand, airline and airport executives from around the world.
The event raised around US$375,000 for the evening’s two causes – travel retail charity Hand In Hand For Haiti and The Moodie Report Foundation, a new body dedicated to funding cancer research.
A further US$34,000 was donated to The Moodie Report Foundation at the event – including US$32,000 from Stuart and Bruce McGuire of Scorpio Distributors – on a night that drew a sell-out attendance and some heart-warming displays of generosity from companies and individuals.
*The Hotel Icon generously donated its gala venue and a sumptuous dinner free of charge.
NOTE: The Moodie Report says a special thanks to DFS for its tremendous assistance in organising the event and in preparing this video.
