APA turned 30 in July. We honored APA founder Dr. Don Wong at our celebration gala.
Following Dr. Wong's vision, our agency, which began with providing services for Asian immigrant mothers, expanded to service Asian and Pacific Islanders, and now we provide services to underserved families in the diverse ethnic population of the greater San Francisco area, strengthening children and families.
On July 16, over 300 attended APA's 30th Anniversary Gala. It was a mini reunion of family, friends and associates of Dr. Wong, former APA Board members, management, and staff. Guests enjoyed an hors d'oeuvres buffet reception at the splendid Green Room, located in the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center. We deeply appreciate Sutter Health CPMC's continued support as our Title sponsor. We would like to acknowledge the generosity of our sponsors and donors at the Platinum level - Gayle Chan & Eric Chen, Cary Chen & Celia Chang, Chef Cory Chen; Cathay Bank Foundation; Robert Joseph Louie Memorial Foundation; Gold level - HSBC USA; Recology; SHP Foundation; The Stanley S. Langendorf Foundation. Also very grateful for the support of our Silver and Bronze level sponsors and donors as well as Friends of APA and In-kind donors. Please scroll down for a listing.
