The Hong Kong Jockey Club’s Post

#Olympic gold-medallist Tom Daley, Oscar winners Dustin Lance Black and Ruby Yang, and 2023 LONGINES International Jockeys' Champion Vincent Ho took the stage alongside moderator Dr Trisha Leahy at #PBC2024's Closing Plenary. The session illustrated the transformative power of sports and the arts in fostering creativity and promoting community well-being. Drawing from personal experiences, the panel highlighted how young people can positively reshape their lives through artistic endeavours. Early access to arts and sports emerged as a key driver for nurturing creativity and personal growth, with a focus on developing fundamental skills such as commitment and resilience through sports engagement. The discussion underscored the need for a forward-looking approach to create equal opportunities for marginalised individuals and diverse communities, cultivating resilience, creativity, and long-term positive societal change. The Closing Plenary served as an insightful finale to this year's #PBC2024, fully embodying the central theme of 'Delivering Impactful Philanthropy in the Real World'. #ImpactfulPhilanthropy #IoP #HKJC #HKJCCharitiesTrust
