Immense gratitude on Giving Tuesday, December 3rd, for all the family and friends who turned out for the Chinatown YMCA's 50th Anniversary gala. Thank you to our donors and sponsors. Together, we raised over $222,000 to ensure the branch can continue to serve the Lower Manhattan community. Huge congratulations to our honorees who have made tremendous impact on the communities we serve: Kaushal Challa, CEO, Charles B. Wang Community Health Center UA3 community organization Sgt. Jeremy Lau, NY/NJ PAPD Thomas Yu, Executive Director, Asian Americans for Equality Proud to be on the Board with a group of amazing people who make this work so enjoyable. (Check out the pictures!) Looking forward to the next 50 years.

This Giving Tuesday, UA3 is asking for your help to fight food insecurity in our community. Your support means the world to families struggling to put meals on the table. Did you know that just $50 can feed a family of 3-4 for an entire week? Every dollar you give allows us to provide fresh produce, essential groceries, and hope to community members who need it most. Together, we can ensure that no family in our community goes hungry this holiday season. Will you join us? https://lnkd.in/dZPmqfg4
