Coinciding with World Mental Health Day,
volunteers from Sands China and NBA Cares gather together for service to the community
today for Health and Wellness Day, the fourth event of the NBA Cares x Sands Cares
Community Impact Week 2026 at the Fuhong Society of Macau’s Happy Kitchen Social
Enterprise.

Two NBA legends—**Stephon Marbury**, a two-time NBA All-Star, and **Cuttino Mobley**—
joined executives from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China, Sands Cares Ambassadors,
and Fuhong members to assemble and distribute boxed lunches, delivering care and
warm wishes to local elderly residents and community members in need. This initiative
will benefit a total of 1,500 individuals, and underscores Sands China’s commitment
to serving the Macao community by leveraging the impact of an international basketball
event to unite stakeholders from different sectors and give back to the community.

Following last year’s Impact Week initiative, which delivered boxed lunches to local
communities, Sands China has once again joined hands with the Fuhong Society of 
Macau during The NBA China Games this year to bring this tradition of care to Happy
Kitchen, a newly established social enterprise of Fuhong. As a community canteen
initiative supported by Sands China, Happy Kitchen provides vocational training 
and employment support for local youth with special educational needs, persons with
disabilities, and individuals in mental health recovery. The initiative helps participants
apply their strengths and integrate into the community, while also providing meal
support to those in need. Through its support of this initiative, Sands China aims
to further promote social inclusion and extend its positive impact to benefit the
wider community.

During the event, representatives of Fuhong Society of Macau led guests on a tour
of Happy Kitchen, introducing the social enterprise’s vision, operational model,
and daily operations. Subsequently, executives from Las Vegas Sands and Sands China,
and Fuhong representatives officiated a plaque unveiling ceremony to mark the official
launch of the social enterprise’s service. This initiative underscores both parties’
shared commitment to fostering social inclusion and creating equal opportunities
for individuals in need to engage with society and unleash their potential.

Following the ceremony, the NBA legends, Las Vegas Sands and Sands China executives,
Sands Cares Ambassadors, and Fuhong members joined forces to assemble 200 lunch 
boxes and deliver them to local community members. The event was filled with a joyful
and warm atmosphere, as all participants demonstrated teamwork, putting their care
for the Macao community into meaningful action.   

**Patrick Dumont, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Las Vegas
Sands Corp., and chairman of the board and non-executive director of Sands China
Ltd.**, said: "We sincerely thank the Central People’s Government, the Macao SAR
Government, and the people of Macao for their long-standing guidance and support.
As an enterprise rooted in Macao, we have once again partnered with NBA Cares to
extend the impact of a world-class sporting event and bring support to every corner
of the local community. Serving alongside local social service organisations, we
are dedicated to building more caring and impactful community services. Together
with NBA legends, we have engaged with communities across Macao, extending warmth
while harnessing the power of sport to bring people together and promote social 
inclusion. Looking ahead, Sands China remains committed to supporting local community
initiatives and working together with all sectors of society to foster the diversified
and inclusive development of Macao."

**Grant Chum, chief executive officer and executive director of Sands China Ltd.**,
said: "Sands China has always been committed to serving the community, and we are
delighted to leverage this year’s world-class NBA China Games to bring together 
caring efforts from across the region and join hands with the Fuhong Society of 
Macau to deliver boxed lunches to people in need within the city. As an inclusive
platform that combines community service with vocational training, Happy Kitchen
empowers people of all abilities to realise their potential and better integrate
into the community.

"With the guidance of the Macao SAR Government and the continued support of all 
sectors of the community for Sands China’s community care efforts, we are pleased
to support this meaningful initiative and work together to foster a more inclusive
community. Coinciding with World Mental Health Day, we are also encouraging greater
awareness of physical and mental well-being through wellness workshops and interactive
activities, helping foster a caring and inclusive society. Looking ahead, Sands 
China will continue to leverage the opportunities arising from international events
in Macao, supporting the city’s economic diversification while uniting partners 
across sectors to make a positive and lasting contribution to the community, and
to jointly build a healthier and happier Macao."

**Jennifer Chou, director of Fuhong Society of Macau**, said: "Happy Kitchen is 
a social enterprise established by Fuhong Society of Macau in August this year. 
Through our meal service operations, we provide vocational training and work experiences
for persons with disabilities, individuals in mental health recovery, and young 
people with special educational needs. To date, more than 30 trainees have engaged
in various aspects of training, including meal preparation, food portioning, lunch
box packaging, and customer service. By serving approximately 250 meals to the community
each day, this initiative enables our trainees to gain practical skills and valuable
experience in a real-world working environment.

"This boxed lunch and meal voucher distribution initiative, held at Happy Kitchen
as part of the NBA Cares x Sands Cares Community Impact Week 2026, brought the community
together through sports and wellness while extending care to those in need. The 
initiative also provided an opportunity for more people to recognise the capabilities,
dedication and contributions of our members. By working together, corporations and
social enterprises can combine resources and expertise to create more opportunities
for persons with disabilities to access vocational training, gain practical work
experience, and contribute to the community, building a healthier, more caring and
inclusive society for all."

The event also featured a series of wellness workshops, including a singing bowl
experience and drawing sessions. Guests joined members of the Sheng Kung Hui Macau
Social Services Coordination Office and Bosco Youth Service Network, as well as 
Sands Cares Ambassadors, to take part in the workshops, engaging in creative activities
and meaningful interactions that promoted mental well-being, while experiencing 
the warmth of care and companionship.

responsibility and player programs of NBA; NBA legends Stephon Marbury and Cuttino
Mobley; Maria de Fatima Salvador dos Santos Ferreira, president of the general assembly
