Help Us Reach Our $80,000 Goal and “Feed” the Lions
Tonight, we aim to raise $80,000 to meet the urgent and growing mental health needs of Asians and new immigrants in our community. Your gift provides critical, life-changing support.
- Complete the donation card with your name, contact, and payment information.
- Scan the QR code or visit givebutter.com/bcncgala to donate by credit card.
- Place the completed card in the red envelope.
- When the lion visits your table, place the envelope in its mouth.
In Chinese culture, offering a red envelope to the lion is believed to bring good luck and blessings. Tonight, your red envelope will directly provide support families who need it most and the launch of BCNC’s licensed mental health clinic.
Give tonight. Strengthen our community.
