Support Garage Society at the Peak Race Charity Run!

Garage Society is running in the Peak Race 2023! We're joining the charity run to raise funds to fight against Modern Slavery. Help us reach our donation goal of HKD 10,000 by race day, 25 March 2023!

What's the Peak Race? 

The Peak Race (formerly peak24) is an annual charity run, organised by members of Garage Society Sai Ying Pun! 

 

Through competing in the relay-marathon, corporate teams (including the Garage Society team!) are come together to fundraise for a shared cause - fighting against Modern Slavery.

 

This year, raised funds will go towards rebuilding a Child Advocacy Centre in Pattaya, in partnership with A21, a global non-profit that works to fight human trafficking.

Support the Garage Society Team!

Since we took part in the last charity race in 2019, we're back to run for a cause at their 2023 event!

 

Our team of 5 Garage staff members have pledged to complete the full 24-mile race this March 25th. If you're reading this, it means we're in the process of training for it now!

 

Show your support by contributing to the fundraiser - help us reach our goal of HKD 10,000!

Donate to the fundraiser, via the official Give Asia page

 

Other Ways to Support

Join in the community event in Saturday, March 25 2023 and cheer for your favourite teams (us, of course)!

 

There will be live music, entertainment and drinks - family friendly and open to all. See you 8 am, at The Peak!

These dynamic spaces have revolutionised the way we work, offering a perfect blend of flexibility, community, and professional amenities.

The appeal of coworking spaces is undeniable. They provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional offices, foster networking opportunities, and offer a vibrant atmosphere that can spark creativity and innovation.

 

However, with the myriad of distractions and the constant buzz of activity, maintaining productivity in these shared environments can be challenging.
