Asian Youth Center (AYC) celebrated our 34th Anniversary Celebration & Awards Dinner on Friday, September 22, 2023, at The Sheraton LA San Gabriel.
This year’s theme was “Spark the Future: Empowering AYC Youth Through Tech,” and all proceeds went to supporting the educational and youth leadership development programs that empower youth to move confidently into the future.
Our event featured a VIP reception, a silent auction, and live entertainment for our 400+ attendees, including high-ranking executives from public and private corporations, business owners, and elected officials.
We are grateful to our sponsors including Amgen Foundation, Cathay Bank, Exact Tax, Tawa Charatible Foundation, Royal Business Bank, and Southern California Edison. We appreciate your continued support of our crucial work at AYC!
