Physical education and sports activities at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) will benefit from a $1 million donation from two brothers.
At the cheque presentation ceremony, PolyU President Professor Poon Chung-kwong expressed his gratitude to Mr Peng Hai-huai and Mr Peng Hai-sheng.
The donation will be granted in five instalments of $200,000 each year to the Physical Education section of the PolyU's Student Affairs Office.
It will be used to sponsor sports activities including physical training programmes and seminars, exchange activities including friendly or formal matches with mainland universities, inter-institutional visits and other activities related to physical education.
'The generous support for our sports development by Messrs Peng is indeed a great encouragement to the university itself,' Prof Poon said.
'The support from donors, such as this, gives us the assurance that the society shares our vision and commitment.' Application for the sponsorship is open to all full-time PolyU students and staff-sportsmen.
