APANO Communities United Fund (CUF) — also known as APANO — unites Asians and Pacific Islanders to build power, develop leaders, and advance equity through organizing, advocacy, community development and cultural work.
Though generations of Asian and Pacific Islander communities have made contributions to American society, our shared history is that of persistent discrimination and inequities. We are a community of contrasts, with some doing very well and many facing significant opportunity gaps in education, health and economic prosperity. Advocating for social justice for more than 25 years, we work to close those gaps.
All guests will be seated at communal tables. If you purchased tickets separately and would like to be seated together, please email [email protected]. Thank you! :)
