Hong Wei Liao and Botrich Support the “Respon Cup” Toronto Chinese Golf Invitational, Celebrating 31 Years of Community Spirit

By: Zexprwire

Toronto, ON, 7th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As golf clubs swing gracefully under the summer sun and white balls soar into clear blue skies, the “Respon Cup” Toronto Chinese Golf Invitational once again takes center stage at the Lebovic Golf Club. This prestigious event, co-hosted by the North America Amateur Golf Association (AGA) and the Eagles Golf Club, marks its 31st year as a cherished sporting tradition within the Chinese Canadian community.

The tournament continues to thrive with the steadfast support of the Chinese Canadian community and the dedication of sponsors. Among the strongest supporters this year is Hong Wei Liao, Chairman of the Botrich Family Wealth Heritage and Development Center, whose leadership highlights Botrich’s commitment to community engagement and cultural exchange.

In a message of support, Ms. Liao emphasized the deeper meaning of the game:

“The spirit of golf—discipline, perseverance, and teamwork—aligns closely with our values at Botrich. By supporting this tournament, we hope to encourage broader participation in sports while contributing to the growth and vitality of the Chinese Canadian community.”

A Legacy of 31 Years

Over the past three decades, the “Respon Cup” has evolved from a modest friendly competition into a flagship annual tradition for the Greater Toronto Area’s Chinese community. From the early days with only a few teams competing, the tournament has grown to feature eight powerhouse squads. With real-time scoring updates now available through modern software, the event has kept pace with the times while retaining its warm community spirit.

Beyond Sports: A Platform for Unity

More than a sports competition, the “Respon Cup” has become a cultural symbol and a unifying force for overseas Chinese. It represents shared values of perseverance, respect, and gratitude, while offering a platform for old friends and new acquaintances alike to connect through their passion for golf.

The event has also created a meaningful opportunity for Botrich to engage with the community it serves. The philosophy of “giving back” has always been central to Ms. Liao’s leadership. By supporting events such as the “Respon Cup,” Botrich demonstrates that corporate success is not only measured in financial achievements, but also in contributions that strengthen social bonds and foster a sense of belonging.

Looking Forward

As the lush greens of the Lebovic Golf Club welcome players once again, the “Respon Cup” stands as both a competition and a celebration. With the continued support of leaders like Hong Wei Liao and Botrich, the event promises not only to deliver memorable athletic moments, but also to embody the enduring values of community, trust, and partnership.

The 31st “Respon Cup” is not just a tournament. It is a story of resilience, gratitude, and unity—a journey shared by all who believe in the power of sport to bring people together.
