HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The WEMP Foundation (WEMP, which stands for "Wellbeing", "EQ", "Mental Health", and "Parenting") and the Rafal Nadal Foundation (RNF) are delighted to announce their alliance for supporting total wellbeing of children and youth around the world through Play. Dr. Adrian Cheng, founder of The WEMP Foundation, and Mr. Rafael Nadal, founding patron of the Rafa Nadal Foundation, co-hosted "The Children Ball — A Night of Hope, Strength and Inspiration", which was held at Rosewood Hong Kong on 24th October 2025. They are reimagining geographic boundaries in their shared mission of creating an inclusive world for every child and adolescent.
Millions of children and adolescents lack access to safe places where they can learn, grow, and thrive. By coming together, these two organisations aim to "break down barriers" in underserved communities—leveraging "sports and play" as transformative tools for "education, mental health support, and empowerment".
Dr. Adrian Cheng has invited Rafael Nadal as a co-host of The Children Ball 2025. The two began their partnership with the launch of Asia's first and only Rafa Nadal Tennis Center Hong Kong under Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar in Hong Kong. Dr. Cheng and Mr. Nadal are deeply committed to the cause, sharing a profound belief that investing in the wellbeing of children is crucial for fostering a brighter future for society. The partnership not only highlights their shared values but also emphasizes the significance of community involvement in philanthropic efforts.
"Hong Kong is ready to become a global philanthropic hub, boasting a strong financial infrastructure and more than 10,000 tax-exempt charities are already in the city." Dr. Adrian Cheng, founder of The WEMP Foundation, said "By partnering with a like-minded philanthropic foundation from Spain, our collaboration shows how friendship can be scaled to create global impact. The ball not only celebrates WEMP's achievements as the largest foundation promoting children's mental wellbeing in Hong Kong, with the most extensive school-focused programs in the city, but also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to making a profound social impact on children's mental health. We extend our deepest gratitude to our supporters and look forward to positioning Hong Kong as a leading centre for philanthropy."
"It feels great to partner with Adrian again, following our previous collaboration to launch the Rafa Nadal Tennis Center Hong Kong. Both of us believe that we have a responsibility to speak up for the next generation. We are committed to using sports to improve the wellbeing of young people around the world," said Mr. Rafael Nadal, founding patron of the Rafa Nadal Foundation, "Total wellbeing is the powerful balance between physical activity, personal growth, and emotional resilience. We strive to unlock the potential of children and adolescents through sports, education, and mentorship."
United by a shared belief in the importance of mental health care, Dr. Cheng and Mr. Nadal, along with their foundations, will continue working to build a more sustainable philanthropic ecosystem that serves both beneficiaries and society at large.

All On-site Profits Donated to Fund Tai Po Fire Recovery Efforts
HONG KONG, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tam Jai International Co. Limited ("TJI") has concluded its debut as the official partner of Clockenflap 2025, uniting its three renowned rice noodle brands – TamJai Yunnan Mixian, TamJai SamGor Mixian and the international brand TamJai Mixian – for the first time. The collaboration brought the "Made in Hong Kong, Made to Move" spirit to the Central Harbourfront. In light of the recent tragedy in Tai Po, TJI remained guided by its genuine "Passion to Serve", pledging all on-site profits from the festival to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals to fund recovery efforts and support for residents in need.
Throughout the weekend, the trio brands welcomed music fans on a culinary journey that embodied the brands' dedication to the city. The activation served as a global stage to showcase TamJai and SamGor's Hong Kong-born legacy while demonstrating how TamJai Mixian unifies the best of both brands for international expansion.
- "Made in Hong Kong" was highlighted to celebrate bold flavours, distinctive style and a lively dining vibe, all originated in Hong Kong and brought to life through Tam Jai's craftsmanship, signature soups and the iconic 10 spice levels honed over the years.
- "Made to Move" symbolised the relentless drive to innovate, expand into new markets and champion noodle culture on the global stage, sharing the unique "Tam Jai Taste" with the world.
Music fans immersed themselves in rhythm and delight to taste buds at the "TamJai Avenue", a dedicated zone decked in signature TamJai green and SamGor red to create a space that felt both nostalgic and fresh. Every corner was infused with the identities of the three brands, allowing visitors to explore installations that blended rice noodle heritage with Hong Kong culture.
Mr Daren Lau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TJI, reflected on the event, "'Bringing the unique Tam Jai Taste to the world' has never been merely a statement, but a commitment and vision that we have built step by step throughout the years. From our deep origins in this vibrant city, we have cultivated three iconic brands – 'TamJai Yunnan Mixian', 'TamJai SamGor Mixian' and 'TamJai Mixian'. Their debut on a united front at Clockenflap symbolises an important step in our journey to present Hong Kong's spirit on a global stage, sharing our beloved 'Tam Jai Taste' with music enthusiasts across the globe."
"Music has the power to connect, heal and uplift, especially in challenging times. With deep love for the families affected by the tragic Tai Po fire, TJI donates all profits from Clockenflap 2025 to support the emergency needs and recovery efforts of the community. This reflects our 'Passion to Serve' brand DNA, bringing warmth, care and hope to the communities we proudly call home."
A Culinary Recap: The Taste of Hong Kong
Festival-goers gathered at "The Taste of Hong Kong" dining area to experience an East-meets-West menu created exclusively for the event.
While fans enjoyed reimagined classics like the Mini Mixian with Pork Belly in Mala Soup, the standout items of the weekend included the innovative "Minced Pork and Homemade Pickle" series. The Minced Pork and Homemade Pickles Mini Burger and the fusion-style Avocado in Garlic and Chilli Sauce were among the most popular choices, demonstrating how authentic mixian ingredients can be transformed into shareable festival snacks.
Local Craftsmanship: Spiced Mixology
The "Spiced Mixology" Bar, a partnership with local craft distiller Perfume Trees Gin, offered cocktails that captured the essence of Hong Kong. With unique and distinctive flavours, both drinks sold out quickly on each event day and became one of the most sought-after highlights of the music festival.
- Spicy Banger (Left): A crisp gin base sharpened by SamGor's signature spice, lychee and lemongrass, finished with a facing heaven chilli.
- Gin'ger (Right): A refreshing mix of TamJai's soup essence, whiskey and gin, balanced with warming ginger and a crisp cucumber garnish.
Interactive Highlights: Engaging with the Brand
Beyond the culinary offerings, "TamJai Avenue" provided immersive cultural experiences. The "Make Your Own Bowl" workshop saw hundreds of fans creating customised phone straps featuring ingredient-shaped charms. Meanwhile, the "Spicy Soup Master" activation invited participants to roll a giant dice, with those braving the "Extremely Spicy" level receiving exclusive memorabilia. The "Bring TamJai Home" collection, featuring "Tastebud Troopers" plush toys and "Spicy Monster Gang" figurines, also proved to be a popular memento of the festival.
