Hong Kong bank employees jump shots to raise money for Operation Santa Claus
‘It’s great … the company has given us such a good platform to play ball and at the same time help disadvantaged groups. It’s a very meaningful activity,’ employee says
Two basketball teams from Dah Sing Bank squared off at Hong Kong Kowloon Centre, with players fighting for the ball to score.
During the game at the gymnasium of the Chinese YMCA on December 7, financial service manager Tony Lau Tung-kit practically flew snatching the ball.
The tournament aimed to support Hong Kong’s charities that help people in need, from the elderly to those with disabilities and youth from low-resource backgrounds.
“Usually, when we play ball, it’s mainly for our health, to practice our techniques and to build fellowship with our colleagues,” Lau said.
“It’s great that today the company has given us such a good platform to play ball and at the same time help disadvantaged groups. It’s a very meaningful activity.”
The bank hosted the “Dah Sing Charity Score Challenge” basketball match in support of Operation Santa Claus (OSC), an annual fundraising initiative held by the South China Morning Post and public broadcaster RTHK since 1988.
