We want to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who attended “Spring Love,” the 2nd Annual Doan Foundation Gala Fundraiser. The night was truly surreal. We were captivated by the incredibly talented youth dancers, moved by our impactful guest speakers, dazzled by the fire dancer, and entertained by award-winning musicians. We are immensely grateful for our supportive donors. The energy throughout the evening was extraordinarily uplifting.
We want to give a special thank you to the dozens of our wonderful sponsors and community partners for going above and beyond to help make the night as incredible as it was and for helping us sustain our mission and accomplish our goals.
Thank you to our Board of Directors, Dr. Thao Ha, Vu Nguyen, Kalvin Le, and Lori Kongmalay for giving us the foundation we need to succeed.
Thank you to the Office of Councilmember Kent Lee for going above and beyond to support organizations like ours in recognition.
We can’t put into words how grateful we are to be surrounded by such selfless individuals who support us. It will be hard to top this year’s event, but we look forward to surprising you next year. On behalf of the children we serve, thank you!
We were honored to receive two certificates of recognition at this year’s 2nd Annual Doan Gala. These certificates are more than mere pieces of paper. They represent the very souls of the dedication and resilience of the underrepresented communities we serve. Moments like these bring the community together to celebrate the work we’ve done, the lives we’ve changed, and the barriers we’ve broken, making every effort worthwhile. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Office of Councilmember Kent Lee for recognizing and acknowledging our work and for their unwavering support of the community. Thank you to the Vietnamese Federation of San Diego for recognizing our role in championing underserved creatives and for their comprehensive support, whether through providing equipment for our events, forming partnerships, or promoting our cause. We are deeply humbled to stand alongside such esteemed leaders in this sector.
