Hong Kong Schools Alumni Association |
 |
California, USA
HKSAA was formed in 1985 by a group of Chinese Americans who had attended various elementary schools, high schools or colleges in Hong Kong; thus, the name Hong Kong Schools Alumni Association. The purpose was to form an association to promote friendship and goodwill among alumni of Hong Kong schools through activities that are of a social, recreational and/or educational, and nonprofit nature. The Association's main activities each year consist of a picnic and a dinner dance whereby by many former students form various Hong Kong schools may network and have fun.
In the past, HKSAA had set up scholarship funds at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University. HKSAA has also, in recent years, fundraised for the Hong Kong Schools Alumni Federation in Los Angeles, a 501(C)(3) organization, which provides scholarships to deserving Hong Kong students to pursue their studies in the United States.
With the help of talented individuals, elected board of directors, gracious sponsors and volunteers such as you and me, HKSAA is able to achieve its goal while produce exceptional entertainments for a fun and memorable fundraising event each year. It has become one of the most momentous events in the bay area that joined by hundred to thousand of people including professional business and community leaders.
