I almost forgot to post about this!
In addition to the donation I am doing for Earth Day (which is still going on, the donation for that will me made at the end of the drawing), I also donated a nice gift set to the Asian Arts Initiative in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, for their benefit auction.
Asian American issues are important to me, not only because I am Asian American but because I studied Asian American issues and was very active in my school’s Asian American organization during my undergrad years. I learned a lot about my heritage and culture, and who I am, during that time.
The Asian Arts Initiative provides Asian related art and cultural activities and programs in Philadelphia. I have not been to one of their programs yet but their programs and workshops look great; I hope to go to one soon. (my brother in law is one of their board members, so E and my sister J have gone to many of their events and programs).
Every year they have a benefit auction to raise funds to help keep their programs running. The funds will go to running programs such as their arts education programs for youth and adults.
I donated a gift set containing a full size of Eden Elixir, a full size of Hu perfume (of course ;P), and a very nice coupon.
So if you live or will be in Philly tomorrow (the 30th), here is a link to info about the banquet (an eight course Chinese banquet) and auction. Go there and support the Asian Arts! 🙂
