Requirements

The idea of Santa Hash is to raise money for local charity, which over recent years has been the Operation Santa Claus Appeal organised by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) Radio 3. In view of this, SCMP generally send a reporter and a photographer to the event and a picture, with a small write up, appears within the newspaper in the following week.

In order to raise as much money as possible, part of the fundraising involves asking a few companies and some of the bars / restaurants frequented by the different individual hash groups, as well as the various suppliers involved, if they will sponsor the event.

Such sponsorship is generally in the form of a cash donation but may include special offers from the various suppliers or dinner vouchers etc. for the raffle.

SANTA HASH 2009

Raising Money for Operation Santa Claus

Saturday 05th December 2009

Santa Hash 2009 (SH09) represents all the Hash House Harrier Chapters of Hong Kong combining to raise money for Operation Santa Claus 2009 (OSC), organised by the South China Morning Post (SCMP) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK). The Santa Hash, raising money annually for OSC since its creation, is accordingly looking for sponsors and individuals to support us. All expenses will be covered by SH09 and all money donated will go to OSC as usual. Last year, SH08 raised in excess of HK$75,000.

In order to raise as much money as possible, part of the fundraising involves asking a few companies, as well as some of the bars and restaurants frequented by the different Hong Kong Hash chapters, if they will sponsor the event. Sponsorship is generally in the form of a cash donation and in recognition of their support the sponsors are provided with the opportunity of having their logo added to the SH09 sports bag and banners specially designed for the event. All donations to OSC of at least HK$100 will be Hong Kong Tax Free.

Free China H3 are organising SH09 and we would very much appreciate it if your company would consider sponsoring the event. While we will naturally accept any contribution, a minimum sponsorship amount of HK$2000 is requested to secure a place for your logo on the SH09 sports bag. The following Sponsors are being sought:

  • Sponsors: HK$2,000: Company logo will be incorporated in to the merchandise produced.
  • Individuals: HK$500 plus will secure a Santa Hash Free Entry and a big thank you!

If you are willing to sponsor the event we will require an electronic copy of your logo on or before 20 November 09 so that we have enough time to finalise the design and order the merchandise.

You are of course also welcome to come along on the day and see what it is all about, as is anyone else in your company; Free Entry for two only though!

I trust this gives you an outline of what we are planning but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to enquire. Full details of OSC, with details of Beneficiaries for 2009, are available on request.

All cheques should be made out to "SCMP Charities Ltd - Operation Santa Claus" and your address (for receipt) and "Santa Hash" written on the back.
