Join AHS for a special evening

Kintsugi, a traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer, elevates the beauty in brokeness. The philosophy of Kintsugi symbolizes resilience, healing, transformation, and embracing life’s hardships.

Much like Kintsugi, Asian Health Services and supporters like you help transform adversity into collective healing. Where others may see fractures, we see stories of resilience, connection, and renewal, each one strengthening the fabric of our community. We invite you to an evening honoring the intergenerational resilience and community care that define us.

$1,000 / Individual Ticket

One Nation
In solidarity with over 100 community partners across the US, Asian Health Services mobilized under the One Nation Coalition in 2018 to fight against the harmful Public Charge Rule change and to promote immigrant rights and access to health care.
Nail Salon Collaborative
In 2005, Asian Health Services established the California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative to address workplace and reproductive health issues faced by low-income Vietnamese immigrant and refugee workers. In 2016, AHS worked successfully to co-sponsor and pass the California Healthy Nail Salon Bill (AB2125).
Oakland Chinatown Pedestrian Safety
In the early 2000s, AHS led a local campaign called "Revive Chinatown" to make Oakland Chinatown safer, more pedestrian-friendly, and economically viable. That resulted in the installation of the four-way scramble crosswalks with other lighting and sidewalk improvements in the Chinatown commercial core.
Proposition 13
The 1978 passage of Proposition 13 threatened to eliminate crucial funding to community based organizations. AHS worked in collaboration with local community groups to galvanize our patient base to protest Prop 13 cuts. As a result of community mobilization and protests, AHS preserved critical funds at the County level, which enabled community groups to continue serving the medical needs of the AAPI community.
