The finals of the inaugural Operation Santa Claus HKTTF Charity Table Tennis Tournament took place at Cornwall Street Squash and Table Tennis Centre on December 22.
The competition was part of the annual Operation Santa Claus (OSC) citywide fundraising initiative run by the South China Morning Post and public broadcaster RTHK.
Jointly organised by OSC and HKTTF.com, the tournament aimed to promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage the “exercise for charity” spirit, as well as raise funds. It also helped extend OSC’s engagement with a wider community and advocated table tennis as a game benefiting holistic well-being.
Part of the proceeds from the tournament enrolment went to OSC.
HKTTF.com, established in 2007, is believed to be the largest online platform for the table tennis community in Hong Kong. “HKIFF” stands for Hong Kong Table Tennis Forum. Founder Ray Chan Shu-yan said the platform’s collaboration with OSC was meaningful.
