Li Yu, Chairman and CEO, commented, “The recent wildfires in Southern California have been devastating and one of the worst disasters in the history of Southern California. As a company headquartered in the heart of Los Angeles, the fires have been particularly impactful for many of our associates, clients and communities. To support recovery efforts, the Board and executive management have authorized a donation in the amount of $250,000 to be split among four organizations that provide resources and relief to those impacted.

Those Organizations are:

  • Tzu-Chi – USA
  • Pasadena Community Foundation
  • Alliance for a Better Community
  • Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation

“In addition, the Bank is also going to match any contribution any employee has already made, or will make, to the wildfire relief efforts on top of the $250,000 donation. The amount the Bank matches will be awarded to the organization the employee donated to. We are pleased to be able to make this contribution and look forward to helping the impacted communities of Southern California rebuild.”
