CPC's Lunar New Year Virtual Benefit

March 18, 2021

On Thursday, March 18, 2021, nearly 500 supporters joined CPC for its Lunar New Year Virtual Benefit in recognizing our essential workers and Tony Xu, CEO and Co-Founder of DoorDash.

The event raised over $490,000 to help address the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes and continue CPC's essential services while promoting fair and equitable recovery for AAPI, immigrant and low-income communities.

HONOREE OF THE YEAR

Tony Xu

Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, DoorDash

"Racism has no place in our communities. It's dehumanizing, stands against the American Dream, and suppresses progress in our neighborhoods. The tragic killings this week in Atlanta are horrific and heartbreaking—and they continue the unacceptable string of hate and violence against members of our Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Know that the DoorDash team and I stand in solidarity with you all and everyone looking to empower local communities and speak out against hate."
