You are invited to the 2023 Lantern Festival Gala. For this year’s in-person Gala, we will come together to move Asian and new immigrant families from beyond surviving to thriving. We are bringing back the Chinese 10-course banquet! The banquets will take place in different venues around Boston Chinatown to support more local businesses and to give guests a more intimate experience. Please consider a sponsorship to support BCNC programs for children, youth, adults, and families, click here for details.

Our focus this year is to move our participants beyond surviving to thriving. Your contributions will support the following key areas:
expanding behavioral and mental health services,
preparing immigrant adults and youth for the workforce,
providing high-quality, in-person child care for preschool and school-age children, and
strengthening the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community through arts, education, and creativity.
All proceeds directly support BCNC programs for 13,000 children, adults, and families.
