Celebrating 25 Years of APAPA

An evening honoring our community, our progress, and the future we are building together

APAPA’s 25th Anniversary Gala brought together community leaders, supporters, and friends to celebrate a quarter century of uplifting Asian American and Pacific Islander voices.

The evening was a reflection of the people who have made this work possible. From our chapter leaders and volunteers to our partners and supporters, generations of advocates have helped APAPA grow and opened doors for others to participate, serve, and lead.

Together, we honored that shared commitment and looked ahead to the work still to come. As we celebrate 25 years, we remain inspired by the young leaders finding their voices and the communities shaping a more inclusive future.

The evening also included a special celebration of CC Yin’s 90th birthday, adding a joyful moment to this milestone gathering.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the gala so meaningful. Your generosity, dedication, and belief in our mission carry APAPA forward.
