The 16th Annual CAPTIVATING Charity Auction

SHENZHEN, YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN!

On behalf of the Shenzhen Charity Federation CAPTIVATING Fund, thank you SO MUCH for, once again, confirming for the world what an amazing community of people you are. Saturday, 12th October, 2024 saw 500 people come together to help improve the lives of young girls, moms, and their children. Once again, our thanks to the wonderful team at the Futian Shangri-la, Shenzhen for working with the Captivating auction committee team and so many volunteers to put on an amazing event.

Together, as a community village, we confirmed through our actions and generosity that we are indeed “Standing with You” to the 1,000 lives we will help progress over this next year together. These 1,000 lives (single moms, young women, and children) across Yunnan, Qinghai, Sichuan, Guangxi and Guizhou Provinces are specifically selected as those who are most in need of additional support to help progress. Together, we have made this next step possible – another step forward into better and more stable futures. At CAPTIVATING, we are thrilled to make this possible in partnership with the Shenzhen Charity Federation and our registered on-the-ground charity partners. And, we have this amazing Shenzhen community to thank for it.

We can confirm an amazing, RMB 1.03 million was raised thanks to this event. We are thrilled.

深圳，你再一次做到了！

我谨代表深圳市慈善会·开普威汀基金，衷心感谢深圳，感谢你再次向世界展示了这座城市的非凡魅力！2024年10月12日星期六，500位爱心人士齐聚一堂，共同为改善年轻女孩、母亲及其孩子们的生活贡献力量。我们特别感谢深圳福田香格里拉大酒店的卓越团队，以及Captivating拍卖委员会和众多志愿者的密切合作，成功举办了这场精彩的活动。

作为一个社区共同体，我们通过慷慨的行动，真正诠释了“与你同行”的精神。在接下来的一年里，我们将帮助1,000名亟需帮助的人士。这些人包括来自云南、青海、四川、广西和贵州的单亲妈妈、年轻女性和儿童，他们被精心挑选出来，是最需要额外支持才能前行的群体。我们共同让这一重要的进展成为可能——再向前迈出一步，走向更加美好、稳定的未来。CAPTIVATING非常荣幸能够与深圳市慈善会以及当地注册的慈善合作伙伴一起实现这一目标。同时，我们也对深圳这个了不起的社区所做出的贡献深表感谢。

本场活动筹款总额约为 103 万元人民币。

Because of this night, and thanks to the support of our incredible corporate project sponsors, over the coming 12 months:

因为这个夜晚，以及得益于我们出色的企业项目赞助商的支持，在接下来的12个月里：

• 180 moms struggling to make ends meet for their families will be trained in Captivating’s Pigs, Poultry & Prosperity Program where they will receive quality pigs and chickens, along with 8 months of training and support. This gives them the opportunity to increase their monthly earning capacity, benefiting their 360+ children and aging parents as a result;

• 30 moms in Qinghai province will receive specialized tailoring training making it possible for them to earn income from their remote home locations and local tailoring businesses, benefiting upwards of 60+ lives including children and aging parents;

• 500 underprivileged students in remote Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou will be supported through another year of senior high school, bringing financial relief to both them and their parents struggling with the costs of senior schooling; and

• 1,300 primary school students across remote locations will have a volunteer teacher help them through this next year. This event enables Captivating to reach our goal of supporting 30 teachers over these next 12 months.

• 180位为家庭辛苦维持生计的母亲将参加开普威汀的“牲畜家禽饲养”项目，在该项目中，她们将获得优质的猪仔和鸡苗，以及为期8个月的培训和支持。这将使她们有机会增加每月的收入，从而惠及她们360多个孩子和年迈的父母；

• 青海省的30位母亲将接受专业的裁缝培训，使她们能够在偏远的家中或当地裁缝店赚取收入，惠及60多人，包括孩子和年迈的父母；

• 在偏远的四川、云南和贵州，将有500名贫困学生获得支持，顺利完成新一年的高中学习，减轻他们和面临高昂学费的父母的经济负担；

• 在偏远地区的1,300名小学生将在下一年获得一名志愿教师的帮助。此活动使开普威汀能够在接下来的12个月内实现支持30名教师的目标。

To all of our event organizers; our incredibly hard-working auction committee and over 100 volunteers; our amazing school and business community; the many companies who donated goods for auction; our amazing group of artists and their artwork this year (co-curated by Brittan Aebischer & Serena Cole); our awesome MC Jeremy Sargent, and amazing auctioneer Tyler Colquhoun who worked hard for a solid 3 hours; our sound and lighting crew and DJ Pax who lead our audio/visual team for the 12th year; our incredibly generous corporate sponsors; event partners; and of course to you, our 500 guests - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. You’ve helped underwrite the work of the Shenzhen Charity Federations CAPTIVATING fund and programs for another year.

感谢所有的活动组织者，辛勤付出的拍卖委员会和百余名志愿者，了不起的学校和商业社区；感谢捐赠拍卖品的公司，出色的艺术家团队（由Brittan Aebischer和Serena Cole联合策展），以及我们精彩的主持人Jeremy Sargent和连续工作整整三小时的拍卖师Tyler Colquhoun；感谢音响和灯光团队，还有连续12年带领团队的DJ Pax；感谢我们慷慨的企业赞助商，活动合作伙伴；当然，最重要的是感谢你们——我们500位尊贵的来宾——衷心感谢大家。你们帮助深圳市慈善会·Captivating基金新一年的慈善项目顺利落实，真正造福更多有需要的人。
