The CUHK Alumni Torch Fund is the first of its kind in Hong Kong, initiated and established by alumni. Founded in 2014 by a group of alumni from anniversary classes, the fund has continued to thrive through the efforts of each subsequent year's Alumni Homecoming special anniversary classes. It upholds the tradition of fundraising and giving back to their alma mater while celebrating graduation anniversaries.

This year's anniversary classes include those from 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019. The “2024 CUHK Alumni Homecoming Special Anniversary Classes Fundraising Committee” is formed to raise funds for “CUHK Alumni Torch Fund”, as a way of giving back to our beloved alma mater. Fellow alumni, especially those from the anniversary classes of this year are encouraged to make donations to the Fund.
