Cathay Bank Raises $210,000 for Local Nonprofits at Its 48th Annual Charity Golf Tournament

The 48th Annual Charity Golf Tournament took place on May 28 at Industry Hills Golf Club, bringing together over 160 golfers. The event featured challenges such as the longest drive, closest-to-the-pin, and a hole-in-one competition. To conclude the day, a post-event award dinner and raffle were held, attended by 260 guests. Since 1977, this tournament has united golfers and generous sponsors in support of Cathay Bank’s mission to make a meaningful difference in the communities it serves.

Cathay Bank presents a $210,000 check to representatives from local nonprofits who will benefit from the funds raised at the bank’s golf tournament event.
