The Children Ball – 'A Night of Infinite Hearts, A World Where Every Child Can' was held on 21 March 2024 at Rosewood Hong Kong. A star-studded affair, the event attracted celebrities from the worlds of fashion, film, and sports, including Hong Kong's actor power-couple Carina Lau and Tony Leung, award winning actress Kong Hyo Jin, the iconic Fan Bingbing, along with basketball legend Stephon Xavier Marbury, who all came together to help create an inclusive world for every child. The evening was marked by an outpouring of support from individuals, businesses, and organisations passionate about making a lasting impact on the lives of children. The generous contributions will allow WEMP and Naked Heart France to extend their reach, providing support to children with special needs and their families through initiatives in Hong Kong and France, marking a significant expansion of support networks. "We have been overwhelmed by the tremendous support we have received," said Adrian Cheng, the host of The Children Ball and founder of The WEMP Foundation. "The event provided a platform for our community to come together and demonstrate their commitment to the next generation. It has reinforced our belief in the power of collaboration. By joining forces, we can effect meaningful change and create a society that prioritises the mental well-being of our children." Emmanuel Gintzburger, Princess Alia Al-Senussi, Danny Casale, Sabrina Ho, Yvette Yung, Tatiana Akishkina Pudwill, and Inga Rubenstein were some of the fashion luminaries, art world insiders, artists and philanthropists who dazzled on the red carpet. Just before stepping into the Grand Ballroom, guests encountered the 'Dreams Unlocked' exhibition portals, showcasing art by children and teenagers supported by The WEMP Foundation and Naked Heart France. The works offered a glimpse into diverse worldviews through the eyes of young autistic artists. The evening's performances featured a captivating piano duet by globally renowned pianist and champion for emerging talent and underprivileged young people, Michelle Kim, alongside her protégé Malcolm Mok, as well as a dramatic reading by Ron Szeto. Both gifted young, neurodiverse performers chose pieces that resonated with the event's theme, 'A Night of Infinite Hearts'. Jonathan Crockett of Phillips led a dramatic live auction that featured work by leading contemporary artists such as Danny Casale, Alicja Kwade and Robert Nava. "The success of this event exemplifies the collective dedication to creating a brighter future for children. Through our collaboration, we have taken a significant step forward in addressing the implementation of best evidence-based support programmes and assisting our youngest generation.
