An annual basketball fundraising tournament brought together Dah Sing Bank employees and Hong Kong students to promote teamwork and positive values both on and off the court.

Held at the Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong’s Kowloon Centre on December 13, the Dah Sing Charity Score Challenge set out to raise funds for Operation Santa Claus (OSC), an annual charity drive co-organised by the Post and public broadcaster RTHK since 1988.

This year’s event saw more than 100 bank staff, along with their families and friends, take part in a series of games with children aged 10 to 14 from TREATS and Rugby For Good, both beneficiaries of OSC’s 13 charities.

The tournament also featured matches between the bank’s two corporate teams and the Tsing Yi Wolf-Warriors, a student team sponsored by the bank through the “WELL DUNK” programme.

Dah Sing Bank has been supporting OSC for 13 consecutive years, contributing to a wide range of charitable projects across the community.

Beyond fundraising, the tournament aimed to cultivate a strong spirit of teamwork and corporate social responsibility among staff.
