Gala Recap
A Night of Reflection, Connection, and Celebration
We are excited to announce that we have officially changed our name to the Chinese American Aid Foundation, reflecting our renewed focus on domestic efforts and our deep commitment to empowering the Asian American community here at home. While our name has changed, our mission and dedication remain stronger than ever.
On May 2, 2026, China AIDs Fund hosted its 2026 Biennial Gala, Visionaries of Tomorrow โ a beautiful evening that brought our community together in reflection, connection, and celebration. We were proud to honor Dr. Vincent Wang, Dr. Robert Crupi, and Dr. Jackson Kuan for their extraordinary contributions to our community.
We celebrated 9 outstanding students who received $3,000 scholarship awards for their inspiring presentations in the Asian American Youth Scholarship Competition, where each shared their vision for their future career path. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we raised over $166,000 that evening. We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this night possible.
