Today’s Mind’s, Tomorrow’s Future® Gala Banquet this Fall
APIASF Hosts Third Annual Awards Dinner in New York City
Mark your calendars for a fun-filled and inspiring evening as the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF) presents our third annual Today's Minds, Tomorrow's Future® awards gala on Thursday, October 30, 2008 in the Grand Ballroom of the New York Hilton Hotel. The evening will begin with a reception and silent auction at 6:30 p.m. followed by dinner and the awards program at 7:30 p.m.
APIASF will be recognizing J. Alexander M. (Sandy) Douglas, Jr., President, Coca-Cola, North America; Bill Imada, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, IW Group, Inc.; and Don Thompson, President, McDonald’s USA. Mr. Douglas and Mr. Thompson will both receive the APIASF Excellence in Education Award for their respective company’s long-standing commitment and support of higher education. Mr. Imada will receive the APIASF Inspiring Dreams Award for being the primary visionary whose leadership, enthusiasm and dedication led to the eventual formation of APIASF.
The gala is APIASF’s only fundraising event during the year, and all net proceeds go towards APIASF critical and vital mission—to insure that as many Asian and Pacific Islander American students as possible have the opportunity to pursue a higher education. Past and present APIASF scholarship recipients will be on hand to share their dreams and aspirations and thank the generous sponsors who make our organization possible, and APIASF will pay tribute to this year’s outstanding award recipients.
The gala will also feature a delicious three-course dinner, a silent auction with many one-of-a-kind items, entertainment and speeches by APIASF scholarship recipients, and other surprises you won’t want to miss. For more information, including table and individual ticket prices and advertising opportunities, please see our early reservation form or contact Shreema Sanghvi, APIASF event coordinator, at (212) 997-0100 or ssanghvi@projectsplusinc.com.
