Ira Dan Kaye Community Service Award

Introduced in 1986, this annual award recognizes individuals who have performed outstanding service to the Hong Kong community on a voluntary basis. Recipients of the award receive a check for HK$30,000 for a charity of his/her choice and an engraved silver plate. The award was renamed the Ira Dan Kaye Community Service Award to pay special tribute to our past chairman who passed away on June 6, 1999.

In 2023, we presented the Ira Dan Kaye Community Award to Sanday Chongo Kabange, a professional volunteer from HandsOn Hong Kong, to acknowledge his dedication and contribution to the Community. In 2022, he spent 386 hours leading kindness walks, played a key role in serving 2,000 meals a week, delivered daily necessities to 300 people living on the street, and removed over 100 kg of plastic waste and debris from Hong Kong’s beaches every month.
