Shooting hoops for charity: Hong Kong’s Dah Sing Bank hosts basketball tournament to raise funds for Operation Santa Claus
- Young basketball enthusiasts and bank staff competed in ‘Dah Sing Charity Score Challenge’
- Event raised money for 15 charitable projects supported by Operation Santa Claus (OSC), an annual fundraising drive jointly organised by the Post and RTHK
Driven by a commitment to making a positive impact in the community, a Hong Kong bank organised a basketball tournament to support a charity drive, bringing together staff and underprivileged children.
Young basketball enthusiasts, including those from The Hub Hong Kong, a charity that provides education and well-being services to disadvantaged teenagers, as well as students from the bank-sponsored basketball team known as “Tsing Yi Wolf-Warriors”, joined the “Dah Sing Charity Score Challenge”.
The event aimed to raise money for the 15 charitable projects being funded by OSC this year.
Nathan Tan Zhu-jun, 11, and Lucas Tan Wei-chen, nine, both participants from The Hub, took part in a series of mini basketball challenges with the bank employees.
The two brothers, who are pupils at Sham Shui Po Government Primary School, said the tournament made them feel fulfilled as it was a way to contribute to a meaningful initiative while also playing their favourite sport.
