CBT strives to be a leader as much through philanthropy as we are with technology, using our signature *human touch* to make an impact where it really matters. Our philanthropic focus areas include education and youth development, economic empowerment and entrepreneurial development of women, and social and economic justice. #### Featured Event CBT’s Annual Charity Golf Classic has raised funds for Uplift Family Services at Hollygrove since its inception in 2004.
