The following are sponsoring organisations which have donated $50,000HK or more to Operation Breakthrough in the past 12 months.
Laureus Sport for Good Foundation
The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation was founded in 2000 by Daimler and Richemont and is supported by its Global Partners Mercedes-Benz, IWC Schaffhausen and Vodafone. It celebrates the universal power of sport to bring people together as a force for good and uses the passion that sport inspires to effect social change across the globe.
The Laureus Sport for Good Foundation is an apolitical charitable initiative that uses the positive influence of sport to tackle society's most pressing challenges around the globe, supporting projects on every continent. According to Academy member Boris Becker, the secret and the strength of sport is that "it has its own rules, it knows no skin colour, no religion, no boundaries."
There is much work to be done and as Academy member Nawal El Moutawakel said, "We cannot change the world overnight but we can start one playing field at a time."
Operation Breakthrough became a member of the Foundation on 15th March 2005, and Laureus have been providing financial support since. We have also been honoured to be visited by a number of the Laureus Academy members, including Edwin Moses, Mark Spitz, Sean Fitzpatrick, Morne du Plessis, and Butch James. You can find out more about Laureus at www.laureus.com and you can see footage of a Laureus visit to Breakthrough on the Publicity page.

Community Chest
Operation Breakthrough is funded by Community Chest.
The Community Chest HK was born with a mission:
- to obtain donations through community wide appeals on behalf of member social welfare agencies;
- to act as trustee of the donors and allocate funds raised prudently to our agencies to strengthen and maximize their services to the needy;
- to provide an integrated service for donors wishing to support a wide range of welfare services in Hong Kong.
Social Welfare Department - Partnership Fund for the Disadvantaged
In his 2005 Policy Address, the Chief Executive announced the setting up of the Partnership Fund for the Disadvantaged to promote the development of a tripartite partnership among the Government, the business community and the welfare sector. The Government will provide matching grants to donations made by business organizations to support non-governmental organizations (NGOs) promoting social welfare projects. The Fund aims to incentivize the welfare sector to expand their network in seeking and securing corporate participation, and to encourage the business sector to take up more social responsibility in helping to create a cohesive, harmonious and caring society.
In 2009 Operation Breakthrough, through the support of Standard Chartered Bank, successfully applied to become a programme under the Partnership Fund.

Yau Yee League
The Yau Yee Football League is a Hong Kong registered association that provides an opportunity for Members to play competitive amateur football in a sporting and social environment and to raise funds in any legal manner and to disburse them in furtherance of the objects of The League.
It is currently made up of four divisions of fifty teams in total. Aside from the league competition that runs from September to May each year, the League also organises 11-a-side and 6-a-sde cup knockout competitions annually. In February 2010 the League held the inaugural Yau Yee League International 9-a-side tournament supported by the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union. A team of Breakthrough boys supported by mentors, competed strongly in the tournament.
It is hoped that this will be the start of an ongoing partnership between Operation Breakthrough and the Yau Yee League to promote and develop youth involvement and opportunity through football.
