Wa
Sung Community Service Club and Wa Sung Charity Fund
The
Wa Sung Service Club has been active as a service
organization for over 54 years. Funds for community services are derived
from fund raising projects including the annual Easter Pancake Breakfast, the
East Bay Community Directory, and 'A Chef's
Delight' a food and wine event and direct donations. Wa Sung
annually contributes monetary support to the annual Merit/Scholarship awards,
Community Charity grants, and Educational grants.
Organization of the Wa Sung Service Club began
with the disbanding of the Wa Sung Baseball team
in 1938 and the reorganization of its members as the Wa
Sung Service Club in 1953 to perform charitable and educational services in
the community and to promote goodwill, understanding and friendship amongst
its citizens.
Since
it's inception, Wa Sung
has grown from a small group to its current membership of over 130. Its
roster includes professionals, business persons, and other diversified
occupations. Membership fees are collected annually
to support the administrative functions.
Every
successful organization must be endowed with an
essential creed, a purposeful goal in order to create mutual interest amongst
its members. Our goal is service to the community.
The Club
was formally incorporated as a Non-Profit Corporation under the laws of the
State of California on May 31, 1960. In 1968,the
Club established the Wa Sung Charity Fund which
was classified by the IRS as an organization described in section 501 (c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions made to the trust are deductible
by donors as provided in section 170 of the Code.
