ASIA, Inc. Announces Date of 2019 Annual Fall Gala & Fundraiser

Asian Services In Action, Inc. (ASIA) will host an evening of fun and elegance during the 2019 Annual Gala & Fundraiser. The Gala will take place on November 15, 2019 at the Ariel Pearl Center in Cleveland. The event proceeds will go towards ASIA, Inc.’s critical programs and services that provide assistance to New Americans.

 The evening will consist of dinner and drinks, a social hour, as well as live and silent auctions to raise funds for the many programs that provide training and technical support to the startup entrepreneurs in the immigrant and refugee communities. Come listen to these new entrepreneurs share their stories — from fleeing their homes due to war and persecution, starting a business, using their skills to help them find a new place to call home, and eventually earning a living. 

Tickets for the gala are now on sale with Early Bird Pricing for a limited time only! You can purchase tickets here. Tickets are sold in single, couple (2) and table (8) directly on the organization’s events page. Event sponsorship and advertising opportunities are still available. Contact gala@asiaohio.org for further information. 

 Your generosity will enable ASIA, Inc. to expand its capacity to promote and support immigrant and refugee entrepreneurship that will, in turn, create jobs, revitalize and stabilize communities, and spark greater economic activity.

ASIA, Inc. has turned a small loan from a partner organization into multiple emerging businesses for immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs. “For ASIA’s clients, it’s so much more than a small business loan. We have a 100% repayment history on the microloans because we also invest in each client’s success by providing one-on-one technical assistance,” says ASIA, Inc. CEO, Elaine Tso.
