For My Birthday - Please Donate!



Dear friends, mentors, and colleagues,

For my Golden birthday I am asking in lieu of buying me booze, to donate to the Asian Pacific Community Fund. It is a non-profit that helps fund around 29 API agencies in the Greater LA area - touching on a various Asian communities and helping them provide services to the community, family, seniors, youth, the disenfranchised, and anyone who needs a lending hand.

You may make your gift here: http://wishes.causes.com/wishes/313496?bws=fb_event_description

I had my start in volunteering with the Asian Pacific Community Fund after I graduated college, and they hold a place in my heart and catalyzed my interest in working with volunteers and non-profits. I would love to see them get the funding they need to provide the vital resources for agencies to continue their good work.

Every donation you make will be matched by an anonymous donor, up to $25,000!

I ask you to donate, even if you feel that this non-profit doesn't directly impact you. We sometimes need to realize that 1) we often may not often recognize how fortunate we are to be in our current station in life and 2) there isn't so much as a "your" or "my" community, but a collage of "our" community that graces the fabric of how we all live and love together.

So please, donate to the Asian Pacific Community Fund. Thank you.

Jason Su
