In 1997 the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation donated funds for the construction of the Jackie Chan Gymnasium at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. To celebrate the opening of the gymnasium the inter-collegiate basketball invitational tournament was started. Known as the Jackie Chan Challenge Cup, the tournament has expanded to include soccer, volleyball, rowing and table tennis and is a week long event at the university.
The winners' cup has a unique design modelled on Jackie's hand holding a basketball
The 16th Annual Jackie Chan Challenge Cup was held this past week in Hong Kong. Jackie and Sir David Akers-Jones (Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation Hong Kong) were on hand to hand out the prizes. Unexpectedly Jackie also gave out cash prizes to the winners and encouraged young people to take part in sport and exercise more.
