On behalf of the ISS Board of Directors and staff, we cordially invite you to join us at Immigrant Social Services’ 2024 Benefit Dinner on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at 6 p.m. at the House of Joy, 28 Pell Street in Manhattan's Chinatown. Your presence and support will help us make this celebration even more impactful.

This year’s theme is Co-Creating Possibilities for the Chinatown Community and we are honored to celebrate distinguished community leaders:

Po-Ling Ng, Assistant Executive Director and Open Door Senior Center Director, Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC)
William Wang, AVP Asian Market Development, Healthfirst
Casey Chan, the first Chinese American female firefighter in the FDNY and Sarinya Srisakul, the first Asian American female firefighter in the FDNY
Bloom Li, Chinese/Fuzhounese American actor, Chang Can Dunk, Disney+

With performances by the Kiwanis Club for Community Care NYC Lion Dance Troupe and the Stuyvesant Music Outreach League.

ISS had the foresight, when it was founded over 50 years ago, to focus its work on the children of immigrants. Let's affirm our commitment to support them who, throughout many generations, have contributed to and continue to positively shape American life.

The funds raised will support our work to care for, invest in, and build up community in Chinatown/Lower East Side–- from our work with students in afterschool programs, our intergenerational activities with immigrant older adults, our leadership on youth substance misuse prevention through stewarding the Chinatown360° Coalition to hiring home-grown young adults as staff members to work and serve in the community.

Now more than ever, stand with ISS and the families we serve and amplify the values of care, community, and connection. Learn about the difference we’re making together here.
