Nearly 1,000 guests gathered at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel for a night of inspiration and laughter at the KACF Gala on November 11th.

We had an excellent lineup of speakers including Keynote Speaker, H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, who spoke about compassionate leadership. Honoree, actor and physician Ken Jeong, and grantee partner speakers, Elyse and Grace, a Big and Little from Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC, talked about how they’ve benefited from having a supportive community and the importance of paying it forward.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported KACF through the Gala! Funds raised will provide community-based organizations with services that are helping low-income Korean and Asian Americans move toward self-sufficiency.

Many thanks go to our Gala Co-Chairs, Alex Chi & Michael Chung, Dinner Co-Chairs, Janice Lee & Joe Bae, Katie Song & Mike Joo, and our Auction Co-Chairs, Misook Doolittle & Simon Kim for their passion and unwavering dedication toward KACF and helping to make our Gala a huge success!
