General
Information
The
Asian Pacific American (APA) Spring Benefit is a black-tie
[optional] fundraising gala event, in its seventh year,
which focuses on APA young professionals during APA
Heritage Month. To date, we have raised over $29,000
to support community-based projects in the Washington,
DC metropolitan area.
This
year's theme is "Reflections: Reinforcing Unity." The
event's theme is designed to showcase the achievements
of organizations that promote racial and ethnic unity,
either through community, educational, or coalition-building
efforts in the DC metropolitan area.
The
2003 beneficiaries will be announced in late April 2003.
Any individual or group wishing to make a donation toward
the beneficiaries are welcome. All donations are fully
tax-deductible. Donors will be recognized in the program
book.
The
evening consists of appetizers and dessert, cash bar,
program, and dancing. Ticket prices are $40.00 in advance
(by May 1, 2003) and $50.00 at the door. To purchase
your ticket(s), please contact the below organizations
or contact the ticket coordinator Marisa Wu (see above

of the dinner is $27. This means the tax-deductible

at door ticket is $23.
