Congratulations to Founding Director @sylkim82 and @naacfdn for the historical launch of the first National Asian American Community Foundation! It was an honor to co-chair its inaugural Aspire Gala 🌟. I am especially proud to have nominated honorees @teddyzee, @aneeshchaganty, @tamnguyenabc, and @carolchoi09223948 for their impactful contributions to the broader community - we are so grateful you accepted! Thank you to the board, fellow co-chairs, volunteers, guests, sponsors (woot #Rutan) and masterful presenters including @michellelosangeles, @yooniq, @willson.franklin.nguyen and @williamwang6026 🙏🏼. Thanks for putting up with us @deepfriedpro and @eliteocproductions 😆. Much love to our generous auction donors @pangeerz, @robertekim, @hellokestan, @maeloveskincare, @7leavescafe, @twentyeightoc, and @yogurtlandinc ❤️. Table 8 was gr8 (thanks @bingchen for cleaning my plate 🤣) and it was wonderful to catch up with old friends and meet new ones (hi @osricchau and @bennyluo 👋). #AspireAwards2019
