CCC Building Renovation Fundraising Gala/ 华社大厅改造工程筹款晚宴
The Chinese Community Center (CCC) was founded in 1973, making 2024 our 51st year. CCC serves over 10,000 Chinese Americans in the Capital Region and CCC Chinese School has about 300 students each year. CCC membership is open to everyone who interested in Chinese culture and language
With its growing number of members and its ongoing activities and events, CCC needs to conduct a major building renovation that will remove the supporting columns that separate the building hall space and raise up the ceiling in certain areas, so that we can better utilize the space for the growing needs to serve more people.
The total cost of the project is currently estimated to be between $60,000 to $80,000. CCC is looking for business sponsors and generous donors to support this important project, as well as to support our mission to be one of the major multi-culture ambassadors in the Capital Region.
CCC Year Of the Dragon Lunar New Year Show was a sold out show in the Egg, with about 45% of attendees were non-Chinese. A one minute recap of the show can be seen here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-GE_3W4fh98MhQXtXBen3HOnGCbSWRF8/view?usp=sharing.
CCC serves over 10,000 Chinese Americans in the Capital Region, also works closely with other communities and organizations as a major AAPI community contributor.
CCC will promote sponsors of this project in our CCC network and our related external networks in the Capital Region. CCC will also thank individual donors with a one of kind of event with authentic performances featuring Peking Opera and a 5 courses candle light dinner featuring delicious Asian food.
Corporate sponsors please email us for sponsorship package.
Please consider to join us to support our building renovation project, by kindly RSVP till April 21st 2024.
Best regards,

华社大厅改造工程筹款晚宴
华社，即华人社区，为在美华人服务的非盈利机构。是华人们能够用自己的语言,自己的文化来团聚的地方，纽约首府华社Chinese Community Center of Capital District of New York，简称CCC。
是全美为数不多的拥有自己的会址，人数众多，组织规模较大的华人社区组织。
1973年5月21日，十几位华社创始人拟了一份组织成立证书，纽约州首府华社正式成立为纽约州的非营利组织，
华社刚成立不久，华社董事会就有拥有一个华社之家的梦想。为了募款，房管委员小组以及许多华社董事级会员花了很多时间与心血，这个历程总共花费了几代人10多年的时间和心血。终于在2004年，华社拥有了现在的会址。
2006年的4月8日早晨，在华社之家前，很多人见证了华社社旗与美国国旗一起在美丽的晨曦中冉冉升起的动人画面。这就是我们现在的华人之家。
我们这一代华人今天幸福的使用着华社前辈们经过无数的努力和挫折才得到的这个会址。真正体验了前人栽树，后人乘凉。
华社经过多年的发展，在新冠之后人气快速激增，新增各种常年运行的俱乐部包括：民族舞，广场舞，太极扇, 数学俱乐部, 形体训练班，乒乓球俱乐部，书法班, 麻将俱乐部 ,茶艺俱乐部，合唱团，少女打鼓队, 青年交响乐团。加上正在壮大的京剧学校，新成立的退休俱乐部等， 一片繁荣景象。
除开春晚和大庆这样的大型活动，所有中小型的活动也都在华社进行，如元宵晚会，中秋晚会，志愿者联欢会等等。目前华社大厅的构造已经难以满足现有的参加活动的人数需求，需要进行结构改造工程。把隔断大厅的柱子取掉，另外该换屋顶通风空调管道，尽量加高顶高。目前预估数字是$60,000-$80,000 之间，具体数字正在估算当中。
华社是全部由志愿者组成的非营利组织，日常水电费也需要会员费和各界捐款的支持，如此庞大的数字更需要各位热心的人士慷慨解囊相助。捐款$500和以上即可上华社捐赠名单，永远留在华社的墙面上。
5月4号华社推出筹款晚宴，集会美食，烛光，艺术演出，给参加者一个耳目一新的体验。华社也推出条件优厚的赞助商套餐，敬请各位商家垂询。
华社工程，造福子孙后代，功德无量。也请关注华社微信公众号 “纽约首府华社”。
华社本就是华人之家，任何人只要参与进来，为自己和大众付出，华社就是您的家！
