The anticipation is high as the Lunar New Year Celebration Fundraiser Event for the American Born Chinese Foundation prepares to welcome the Year of the Dragon in a spectacular night of festivities at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Blvd. The event is benefiting the American Born Chinese Foundation, serving as the title sponsor. Founded with a mission to fill the gap in available Chinese/English bilingual books, it aims to provide free resources for American Born Chinese children to become bilingual, and supporting positive AAPI identity from childhood.
