The Vietnamese American Heritage Foundation celebrates and promotes pride in being Americans of Vietnamese descent. This year, we will work with them towards our mutual goal in furthering cultural awareness and exploring our self-identity.

Last year we worked with VIETHOPE, an organization focused on improving the socioeconomic condition of Vietnam. Their goal is to support programs that educate the children of Vietnam, in the hopes that they can reach their fullest potential that they have been deprived of in years passed. Last year we raised over $1500 for this cause.
