The 28th Annual American Courage Awards has Come to a Close. Thank You for Your Support!

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your presence at the 28th Annual American Courage Awards event, held last Thursday, October 3, 2024. Your participation made the evening even more special, as we came together to honor the exceptional courage, resilience, and innovation of individuals who have profoundly impacted our communities and beyond. It was a night of celebration, reflection, and inspiration, where we recognized those who have tirelessly dedicated themselves to advancing justice, equality, and opportunity for all.

The evening was truly unforgettable as we celebrated the the remarkable catalysts for change who remind us that a single voice can ignite a movement and transform communities.

We also extend our appreciation to our board of directors, national advisory council members, staff, speakers, and sponsors for their support and commitment to our organization.  It’s not too late to celebrate with us and make a contribution so that we can continue our work in support of individuals, families, and communities nationwide. 

Please consider making a donation online today. Your gift serves to advance the civil and human rights of Asian Americans and builds and promotes a fair and equitable society for all. Thank you for being a part of this special celebration and for your continued support of Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC. 

In solidarity and with sincere thanks, 

John C. Yang
