Past galas and awards have featured United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and President of Dartmouth College Jim Yong Kim, among other distinguished speakers and honorees.
Washington State Senator Paull Shin gave the keynote speech and ABC News anchor JuJu Chang was present.
Founded in 2002, the Korean American Community Foundation has grown to become a trusted source of philanthropy within the Korean and Asian American communities. To date, it has made US$1.5 million in grants to community-based organisations working to improve lives and transform communities.
