Hello API Chaya community,
 

ONE WEEK AWAY FROM OUR LIVE VIRTUAL GALA!

April 24th, 6-8pm.
Register for the Gala

Our gala is next Saturday, can you believe it? In a year that has been rough for all of us, we know survivors still face critical conditions. The opportunities for celebration, human connection, and fun are rare. This year’s virtual gala is an opportunity to get fancy, show off your red carpet looks and make a difference for survivors in your life. 

Always a highlight at our gala is our incredible Survivor Keynotes! Former clients Billy and Alice chose to get vulnerable with you and offer their stories of struggle and empowerment. Please join us on Saturday, April 24th, 6-8pm and hear their powerful stories of moving from crisis towards healing. 

We are so excited to show you the change your dollars create.

For folks who live in Seattle - we are partnering with Musang, a community-driven restaurant focusing on the education of Filipinx cuisine, for our virtual celebration! As an API organization, we miss so much having food together! Order to pick up food from Musang on the day of the gala, and a portion of what you pay will be donated back to API Chaya. We look forward to virtually sharing a wonderful meal with you all!
