The 2024 Hong Fook Gala will be hosted on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at Hilton Toronto/Markham Suites Conference Centre & Spa in Markham. While COVID-19 is no longer deemed a global health emergency, the significance and urgency of taking care of our mental health persists. In particular, our youth have been at higher risk of experiencing poor mental health (compared to other age groups) during and post the pandemic. 1/2of Ontario parents report having ever had concerns about their child’s level of anxiety.

Hong Fook has been responding to the mental health crisis by providing evidence-based, culturally competent care. And it’s more than just about language – it’s about the deeper cultural connection that allows a person to be fully seen and understood. This year, Hong Fook anticipates serving 4,000 individuals over a total of 35,000 visits. Your contribution to our annual Gala enhances our capacity to provide essential support to our community and foster hope for future generations.

Join us for a refreshing gala experience at our 2024 Hong Fook Gala. We are honoured to have Joseph (Bigham) Tsang from Sing Tao A1 Chinese Radio and Jee-Yun Lee from CP24 as our esteemed hosts, guiding us through an evening of inspiration and philanthropy dedicated to supporting our next generation.

Don’t miss our reception which starts at 6 pm, featuring an close-up magician and photo spot by Snaptique. Share your photos with us by tagging @hongfookmha on Instagram! The highlight of the evening will be a keynote speech by Karen B. K. Chan, accompanied by a live painting/music performance by Jin Zuo and Kemin Zhang. Together, they will illustrate the significance of community support in empowering our next generation.
