Giving Back to the Community
To match our passionate community spirit for sports, we added in a charity raffle and rally for The Baobei Foundation. On the night of the event, we raised over RMB12,000 for The Baobei Foundation, which provides both life-saving surgeries and post-surgical rehabilitation to abandoned Chinese orphans with disabilities and severe medical conditions.
Throughout the voting however, several nominees decide to rally their own contributions for the cause bringing in even more direct donations to The Baobei Foundation, with FitFam raising RMB4,500+ and our gold Sports Personality of the Year Award winner Alina raising RMB3,800. Thanks to all for supporting the cause and for participating in a great celebration of sport!
