Meezan Bank recently sponsored the 9th Annual Golf Tournament held at Karachi Golf Club, Karsaz. The tournament was organized by The Citizens Foundation (TCF) with the objective of raising funds for education of the under privileged children in Pakistan and to spread awareness about TCF and its mission.
TCF is a professionally managed, non-profit organization set up in 1995 by a group of citizens concerned with the dismal state of education in Pakistan. As of 2012, TCF has established 830 purpose-built schools nationwide with an enrollment of 115,000 students. Meezan Bank is a regular contributor to TCF and other organizations as part of its CSR efforts directed towards promotion of health services and eradication of illiteracy and poverty. As the Diamond Sponsor of the event, Meezan Bank had set up an information stall for its Premium Banking segment at the event where its representatives presented the salient features of the newly launched segment to the participants of the event. The event was attended by approximately 1,000 golf enthusiasts and spectators. According to the organizers, the event was a major success for TCF and it collected record amount of funds at the event. The event also created significant awareness about TCF and its activities.
