Thank you for the support at the Kick Off Mixer!
The Kick Off Mixer was a smashing success with a great turnout! We were happy to meet many new faces from the community along with past and present PbP members together showing support for this year's theme. It was a jovial evening filled with food and drinks, and of course the long awaited announcement of our 2019 beneficiary partner: Center for the Pacific Asian Family (CPAF).
CPAF was a natural choice as our partner for this year's theme of Homelessness for the important initiatives in which they provide transitional and long-term housing solutions. Additionally CPAF aims to reduce homelessness by addressing the root causes of homelessness.
For more information please see our full press release announcing our partnership with CPAF.
PbPLA Steering Committee members honored to be joined by Debra Suh from CPAF.
Ms. Suh spoke in detail about CPAF's initiatives aimed at eliminating homelessness in the API community.
