In February 1998, the Forum initiated charity fundraising activities via a "Gala Ball" at the Peninsula hotel. Guests included HKSAR Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa and dozens of senior aerospace executives en route to Asian Aerospace in Singapore. Charity fundraising initiatives have raised in excess of US$200,000 in 2000/2001. Generous aerospace memorabilia and flight experiences have been donated by Boeing, BAE SYSTEMS, Airbus, Rolls Royce, GE, Embraer, Saab, Shorts, Gulfstream and Virgin Atlantic. Auctions have been organised at the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, the eyeBALL, and on the Internet courtesy of yahoo.asia. Receptions promoting the Aerospace Auction were also held during the Farnborough and Paris Air Shows.
