Thank you for joining us at TWF’s Fundraising Gala Dinner 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined TWF’s Fundraising Gala Dinner 2025 last Thursday! We were touched by the enthusiastic support from 450 guests, friends, allies and partners.

We are immensely grateful to our Title and Platinum Sponsor, Bloomberg, our Executive Sponsor Citi, and our Associate Sponsor Jardine Matheson for their tremendous dedication to our joint vision to create a gender equal future. This Gala would not have been possible without their generous support.

Our Gala was a powerful reminder of the strength that lies in sharing stories. Through the voices of our programme participants, we witnessed courage, resilience, and hope. We were moved by Mentoring Programme Advisory Council Member Iris Lo, and Male Allies Leadership Council Co-Chair Byron Phillips, who shared their letters to their younger selves. We were inspired by the sharing from Girls Go Tech Alumna Apple Lo and Young Allies participant Nathan Cheng in conversation with Anita Ngai, JANA and Asia South Head of Regulations Identification in Legal, Citi.

We would also like to thank our incredible emcee, Jennifer Wannenmacher, and fearless pledge leaders, Liz Alam and Richard Lord.

We’re deeply grateful to our Platinum Sponsor Goldman Sachs; Gold Sponsors: KKR, Mandarin Oriental, Sunlife, Stratford Finance; and Silver Sponsors: Alvarez & Marsal, Brunswick, CLP, Cooley, Fidelity, HKT, Hongkong Land, Linklaters, MTR, and PwC.
