For this year’s Gala, we will come together to strengthen Asian and new immigrant families. The Gala takes guests on a tour of Chinatown. The evening begins with an exclusive reception for sponsors at Pao Arts Center. Then guests gather at the iconic Chinatown Gate for cultural performances outside. Finally, guests are escorted to their assigned local restaurant to enjoy a delicious 10-course traditional Chinese banquet.
