2025 Table of Dreams

Giving Tuesday, 2025

The 2nd Annual Table of Dreams was a truly unforgettable evening. On Giving Tuesday, the AAD community came together for a spectacular culinary journey and raised an incredible $31,000 in support of the AAD mission.

The evening championed AAD’s signature Kin Mentorship Program, celebrating the strong bonds between our 200+ mentees and 200+ mentors while fueling the future of AAPI leadership. Every dollar raised goes directly toward paving the way for the next generation of AAPI leaders.

A Culinary Celebration

A huge thank you to our community partner, the Michelin Bib Gourmand-honored La Dồng, for hosting another magnificent culinary adventure and for their steadfast support of the AAPI community here in New York City. Each course was a celebration of Vietnamese culinary tradition, bringing warmth, flavor, and connection to every table.

Breaking Records Together

This year’s Table of Dreams broke records, more than doubling our fundraising goal. The generosity of our attendees, sponsors, and community partners is a testament to the collective belief in AAD’s mission and the power of investing in underserved AAPI undergraduates.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this evening possible. Your support empowers our students to fearlessly chase and achieve their career dreams.
