Hong Kong's first cross-communal relief effort to raise funds and support for the people of the Haiti earthquake took place with a party where all the proceeds went to Oxfam.
 
Highlights of the night included a raffle and auction to raise further funds with DJ May spinning some of the best tunes in town.
 
Hong Kong for Haiti is organised by a group of young professionals living and working in Hong Kong to raise funds for the relief work in Haiti and ensure that the tragedy unfolding there remains in the public eye.
 
"More than 10 days after the earthquake in Haiti, significant aid is required from the international community to support the humanitarian effort and the country's long-term reconstruction needs.

"100% of all ticket revenues and funds raised on the night will be channelled directly to Oxfam Hong Kong emergency relief and rehabilitation works in Haiti to help those most in need" said Daniel Cowen of Hong Kong for Haiti.
 
Bringing together partners from across the Hong Kong community, zuma Restaurant and Bar donated their premises and staff to host the event.

Grand Hyatt, Mandarin Oriental, Candice Luk Fine Jewelry, 8th Estate Winery and the Retreat in Repulse Bay, among others, have all provided donations to the evening's raffle and auction.

So far, Hong Kong for Haiti has raised HK$390,130 ($70,979) with donations still coming in.
