Since he was a teenager, Raymond Chan wanted to help others. It was the reason he chose physiotherapy as his field of study and it is also why he co-founded The Jockey Club Scholars Alumni Association.

The Jockey Club Scholars Alumni Association is a network of individuals who, like Chan, were recipients of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Scholarship. When Chan received his own scholarship in 1999 to study physiotherapy, it meant far more to him than academic recognition, it provided a new perspective on life and a calling to give back to society. As a united group, these alumni could share in their combined knowledge, holding workshops to exchange both professional skills and personal wisdom. This would make them more effective as they channeled their collective energies into serving the community.
