Every November, the Cathay Ball stands as the pinnacle of Mon Sheong Foundation’s fundraising efforts. The dazzling gala is a grand evening of spectacular entertainment, elegant dancing, and sumptuous dining. It is home to the popular special draw and a silent auction filled with fine items and collectibles. The Cathay Ball brings together over a thousand guests including corporations, sponsors, professionals, and government officials to enjoy an extravagant evening – all for the purpose of benefitting Mon Sheong Foundation’s charitable initiatives. This grand program cannot run without the help of hundreds of volunteers. We need your help to bring Cathay Ball to life. Join Mon Sheong and be a part of the movement by volunteering with us!
