Under the theme "Share the Fun, Serve the Community", SYP has designed over 14,000 social and recreational activities, anticipating to attract the attendance of 1.15 million youngsters.
Apart from sports and recreational events organised for this summer, participants will also provide community service to those in need including the elderly and the disabled, the new China immigrants and the youth at risk.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club has donated $17.6 million to this year's programme.
