To celebrate the 100 years of Rotary service in the community the district has partnered with Hong Kong Rehabilitation Power to launch an outdoor event for a group of 100 disabled young people with a theme "Made it Possible". This centennial project is integrated with the annual Sports and Family Day with objectives as follows:

1. To celebrate Rotary Centennial with a jointly collaborated social service programme to generate friendship, happiness and fun for all participants.
2. To empower individuals with disabilities to gain confidence and facilitate their full integration into society.
3. To encourage mutual aid and interdependence amongst people with disabilities and people without disabilities in an equal way.
4. To provide unity and hands-on volunteer service opportunity for members of the Rotary Family.
