Our club just received the thank you letters from the 6 disadvantaged students we supported last year who are from China’s Sichuan and Jiangxi Province. Each student is from a family facing different adversity, yet they are able to continue with their education with the money we raised and donated to them. Our club has been supporting Chinese students in need since 2015 when it is founded and some of the students already finished high school and entered college.
On June 15, our club was invited to perform at Del Mar Fair. Many of our dancers performed folkloric dances and introduced our Chinese culture to the audience.

Additionally, we extended our gratitude to the firefighters by providing them with drinks and snacks. The donation symbolizes our appreciation for the sacrifices our firefighters make and the vital role they play in keeping us safe. In return, the firefighters brought us on an engaging interactive tour of the department and its fire engines. Overall, it was a rewarding experience for us to give back to these selfless members of our community.
On February 11th, members of our club prepared a variety of food and drinks for the Chinese Garden Party. We successfully raised $487 for the Club. All these funds will be used for our club to contribute to the education of children in China and other public welfare activities.
On November 11th, our club collaborated with two local youth clubs to host the San Diego Youth Talent Showcase Fundraiser and raise funds for Casa De Amistad, a nonprofit that offers educational support to children from low-income families. During the event, we presented six dance performances and two piano solos. The collective efforts resulted in a total fundraising amount of $10,000 for Casa De Amistad!
On August 12, many of our club’s tutors traveled to Beijing and met their students in-person! There, they were able to chat and get to know their students face to face, and had dinner together at Tian Fu Hao. By meeting their students in-person, our club tutors can get to know their students’ interests and personalities further than shown on a screen.
