Christine Fung

Hong Kong

At age five, Christine Fung already began developing her physical agility, and her mental toughness as an amateur competitive gymnast. Through those 14 years of competition, sport played an integral role in her becoming the inspiring, compassionate, and successful person she is today. Christine is dedicated to ensuring youth in her community are gifted similar opportunities. Previously a Brand Marketing Manager with Nike Hong Kong and Nike China, Christine made a career change in 2019 and began working for InspiringHK Sports Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on grassroots methods of serving underprivileged youth in the community. 

In 2020, an NGO Leadership Program granted Christine financial support after she proposed her sports initiative, “Co-ADDventure” aimed specifically for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and their caretakers. After seeing her younger brother’s battle with ADHD, and the positive effect sports had on his life, Christine wanted other children in similar circumstances to experience these same benefits. This program, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, provides organized sports activities for Special Education Needs (SEN) youth, while simultaneously focusing on the needs of their caretakers.
