34th Anniversary Celebration and Award Ceremony

Asian Youth Center (AYC) invites you to join us for our 34th Anniversary Celebration & Awards Dinner on Friday, September 22, 2023. This year's gala highlights AYC's initiatives to expand the organization as a whole so that programs can continue to thrive in the unique cultural landscape of the San Gabriel Valley and the greater Los Angeles area through linguistically and culturally competent programs and services. AYC's goal is to raise $250,000 to continue this work.

The AYC Board of Directors is proud to honor business and community leaders, including:

Cathay Bank

Corporate Partner Award

Chinese Elected Officials (CEO)

Community Partner's Award

Taylor Rapp 

Inspirational Leadership Award

Jon Mendoza, Technologent

President's Award

Our event will feature a VIP reception, a silent auction, live entertainment that usually attracts over 500 attendees. Attendees from previous galas have included high-ranking executives from public and private corporations, business owners, and elected officials. We are grateful to past sponsors, which included Southern California Edison, Tawa Charitable Foundation, U.S. Bank, Rose Hills, IW Group, OneLegacy, Exact Tax, Inc., and many more…

AYC is a community-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that helps youth succeed in school, at work, and in life! Our goal for the event is to strengthen AYC's social justice impact and our mission to empower low-income and immigrant youth of all communities through culturally and linguistically competent education, employment, and social services. This includes youth-led empowerment projects that build allyship for undocumented peers, as well as community-based projects that build solidarity within the Stop Asian Hate movement.

We hope you can join us to celebrate our wonderful honorees and hear more about our work. Your generous support will grow our impact, uplifting the diverse communities we serve. Can we count on your sponsorship that will help us flourish?

We look forward to talking with you soon about the event!
