On December 3, 2024, Asian American Dream hosted our inaugural Giving Tuesday benefit dinner – Table of Dreams – at La Dồng, a Vietnamese restaurant in New York City.
If there was one word to describe our first annual benefit dinner, it would be: family. From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted with the festive sounds of laughter, joy, and kinship. It felt like home.
Attendees enjoyed authentic Vietnamese cuisine including bún chả, phở gà, and cà phê – each dish a reminder of the rich cultural traditions that connect the AAPI community.
Thank You
We extend our deepest gratitude to La Dồng and its owners, Jaru and Zyndi, for welcoming us to their beautiful restaurant and creating such a fantastic rendition of Vietnamese cuisine.
A special thank you to Mizuho Americas, the title sponsor for our inaugural benefit dinner, for empowering the next generation of AAPI leaders through their generous support.
