CPC's Queens AAPI Heritage Month Benefit in New York Draws Over 400, Raises More Than $175,000
On May 28, 2026, the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) held its Queens Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month Benefit at Northern Gala in Flushing, Queens, New York, bringing together more than 400 philanthropic, corporate, government and community leaders. CPC, the nation's largest Asian American social services organization, published its recap of the event on May 29.
The benefit raised more than $175,000 to support CPC programs serving 20,000 Queens residents each year, spanning early childhood education, college readiness, senior care, support for families with special needs, multi-social services, adult literacy and legal immigration counseling. Two Queens community leaders were honored: Leona Chin received the Community Service Award and Jay Lau received the Heritage Award.
Founded in 1965, CPC is the nation's largest Asian American social services organization. It works to promote the social and economic empowerment of Chinese American, immigrant and low-income communities, with services across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens in New York City.
