Simpson Marine Supports SPLASH Foundation’s Annual Fundraising Relay Swim “MAKE WAVES for HK”

We are pleased to share that Simpson Marine continues its support of long-standing charity partner, SPLASH Foundation. Simpson Marine provided support vessels and hands on support at the charity’s annual fundraising relay swim around Hong Kong Island – “MAKE WAVES for HK” – held on 4 November 2023.

30 individuals embraced the challenge of a multi-relay swim around Hong Kong Island. These dedicated participants spent months training and overcoming their swim illiteracy, a commitment that went well beyond the physical endurance required for the swim.

A supporting team, along with the crew on the pilot boat – the Aquila 28 Molokai – and safety boats from Highfield, ensured the safety of the swimmers throughout their extensive swim.

Over $3 million Raised for the Cause

The event was a resounding success, raising over HK$3 million thanks to the efforts of all the swimmers and supporters. This substantial amount was contributed by over 1000 donors and will empower SPLASH to provide swimming lessons to more than 2,000 children and adults from under-resourced communities.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all five swimming teams and the support crews on site. Your efforts have made a profound impact, introducing the joy and safety of swimming to numerous children and adults.

On behalf of everyone at Simpson Marine, we commend you for your remarkable achievement and thank you for making waves!

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this success, we also look forward to future collaborations and initiatives. By supporting SPLASH, we are not only contributing to their important work, but also investing in the future of our society. Every dollar donated goes towards empowering individuals, improving their quality of life, and creating a ripple effect of positive change in their communities.
