Thank you for being part of CACF’s 3rd Annual Catalyst for Change Awards Gala at Edison Ballroom on November 4, 2019. With over 300 people in attendance, we raised nearly $200,000 that evening that will help CACF fight against racism and build a community too powerful to ignore.

It was a night to celebrate leadership and innovation within the Asian Pacific American community — to celebrate Catalysts for Change. We’re incredibly grateful for the commitment of our honorees to furthering social justice and equity for Asian American children and families.
