The Coalition for Asian American Children and Families holds its Catalyst for Change Awards Gala on Friday, November 13, at 6 p.m. at Tribeca 360 in New York, with a cocktail reception, dinner and auction, under a theme celebrating the coalition 40th anniversary.

The coalition says the Catalyst for Change Awards is its premier annual celebration honouring the visionaries who are driving bold, lasting change for AAPI communities, with past honorees drawn from media, business, philanthropy, arts and leadership.

This year listings include Victoria Chu Pao, President and CEO of the Chinese-American Planning Council, Deepa Gandhi, co-founder and chief operating officer of Dagne Dover, and Alan Muraoka, the Emmy Award winning actor and director known for playing Alan, the proprietor of Hooper Store, for 28 seasons on Sesame Street.

The gala page also lists CACF Legends, board members whose ten or more years of leadership and service are being celebrated, including Jarrod Fong, Larry Lee, Angie Wang and Jennifer Yuen, with all listings as of November 11, 2026.

The coalition notes on the page that, given the recent Microsoft outage, confirmed guests may not have received the Know Before You Go email, and lists its office at 50 Broad Street, Suite 1002, New York, where cheque donations for the gala are also directed.
