Hello All,

We at the YWCA of Queens wanted to thank everyone who supported us at our 39^th Annual Gala on March 16^th. With your help, we raised over $117,000.00! Special thanks to:

Our honored Keynote Speaker, Mimi Han Vice President of the World YWCA for her inspiring words
The Korea YWCA United Nations delegation for joining us
Community Service Awardee, Sung Chang of Dashing Diva for his continued commitment to our community
Our elected officials and their staff who joined us: Councilmember Peter Koo, Jacqui Hsieh from Congress member Grace Meng’s office, and Joanne Choi from Governor Andrew Cuomo’s office who presented us with a special letter from the Governor
Christina Love Lee for providing us with beautiful performances and song
All of our sponsors, donors, and attendees – without your support, this event would not have been possible
The Y Evergreen Choir, Korean Drum League, and Compass/Explore! Choir for putting on such a magnificent show
And lastly, our incredible Staff.
