Dah Sing Bank's annual Charity Score Challenge brings together bank employees and students in a spirited basketball tournament supporting Operation Santa Claus. The event highlights community engagement and social responsibility through sport.

In a vibrant display of community spirit, Dah Sing Bank transformed a basketball court into a beacon of hope and teamwork during its annual Charity Score Challenge, bringing together bank professionals and local students for a meaningful cause.

The December 13 event, held at the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong's Kowloon Centre, was more than just a basketball tournament - it was a celebration of social responsibility and youth empowerment. Over 100 bank staff, along with their families and friends, joined children aged 10 to 14 from TREATS and Rugby For Good in an energetic series of basketball matches.

This year's tournament continued Dah Sing Bank's proud 13-year tradition of supporting Operation Santa Claus (OSC), the longstanding charity drive co-organised by the Post and RTHK since 1988. The event featured exciting matches between the bank's two corporate teams and the Tsing Yi Wolf-Warriors, a student team sponsored through the bank's innovative 'WELL DUNK' programme.

Beyond simply raising funds, the event sought to cultivate a strong spirit of teamwork and corporate social responsibility. Players of all ages collaborated, competed, and connected, demonstrating that community impact can be both meaningful and fun.

By engaging young participants alongside professional athletes and corporate employees, Dah Sing Bank has created a unique platform that goes far beyond traditional fundraising. The tournament represents a powerful model of how businesses can actively contribute to community development and youth engagement.

As the final buzzer sounded, it was clear that this was more than a game - it was a testament to the power of collective effort and the positive change that can happen when different generations and backgrounds come together for a shared purpose.
