On November 8th, 2024, the Carolinas AAPI Business Association (CABA) hosted its 4th Charity Golf Invitational at the picturesque Red Bridge Golf Club in the Charlotte area. This highly anticipated event was a resounding success, bringing together over 50 passionate golf enthusiasts, including entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and community leaders, all united by a shared mission — to support the Carolinas AAPI Community Center Foundation.
A Day to Remember: Networking and Fundraising for a Greater Cause
The Charity Golf Invitational served as more than just a sporting event. It was an opportunity for professionals and community members to connect, share insights, and build relationships, all while contributing to a cause that supports the AAPI community. As a cornerstone of the event, we were thrilled to witness the generosity and commitment of our participants, which translated into over $10,000 in net donations. This seed funding is crucial for establishing and expanding the AAPI Community Center Foundation, which plays a pivotal role in supporting Asian American Pacific Islander communities in the Carolinas.
The event highlighted the importance of giving back, building bridges, and celebrating the strength of diversity within our local and global communities. The generosity displayed by sponsors and participants has ensured that the foundation is equipped to continue its mission to uplift and empower the AAPI community.
CABA’s Ongoing Commitment to Community Support
The Charity Golf Invitational is just one of many initiatives that CABA has led to positively impact the local AAPI community. Just recently, CABA members raised over $20,000 for disaster relief efforts in Western North Carolina, further demonstrating our unwavering dedication to supporting communities in times of need.
It is through collective action, generosity, and a shared commitment to social responsibility that CABA can make a significant difference in the lives of others, ensuring that our community not only thrives but continues to give back in meaningful ways.
