Meet the 2022 Dim Sum Honorees

ACDC is thrilled to welcome esteemed community heroes at this year’s event!

Inspiration Award

We will honor the founders of Project Restore Us, Dr. Marena Lin, Chef Irene Li, Chef Tracy Chang, and Lily Huang, with the Inspiration Award, celebrating their inspiring mission to support food security and local businesses during the pandemic. In March 2022, the James Beard Foundation honored Chef Irene Li with an esteemed Leadership Award, which recognizes "the visionaries responsible for creating a healthier, safer, and more equitable, and sustainable food system.” Irene is the youngest person to win the Beard Award for leadership.

Neil Chin Community Service Award

We will also have the pleasure of honoring Dr. Ashish K. Jha with the Neil Chin Community Service Award to commend his crucial, public promotion of science-based information about the pandemic.

Volunteer Appreciation Award

In 2021, ACDC volunteer John Lian coordinated over $200,000 in aid distribution to hundreds of families seeking support to pay for housing, groceries, and other necessities. We are excited to recognize his efforts to support the community during the pandemic. Over the last two years, ACDC spearheaded a collaborative Asian Community Emergency Relief Fund (ACERF) to raise and distribute over $500,000 in direct financial aid to hundreds of working-class immigrant households.

About the program

Residence Lab is a partnership between Pao Arts Center and ACDC to empower and train artists and residents to collectively preserve the Chinatown community through creative and artistic space activation.

HEART OF THE COMMUNITY DIM SUM BREAKFAST

Our annual Heart of the Community Dim Sum Breakfast will be held virtually on Friday, September 18th at 9:30am. Although we would have preferred to enjoy Dim Sum with the hundreds of guests that usually attend our Breakfast, we are prioritizing the public health of our guests and community.

We are a resilient community. We have seen COVID-19's impact on housing and financial security, health, education, and racial equity. Yet, we have seen generosity, advocacy, selflessness, and leadership.

In Chinatown, a neighborhood that is densely packed with low-income immigrant families, there is a critical need for additional resources to help achieve housing and financial security. Proceeds from this fundraiser fuel initiatives like our A-VOYCE youth leadership program, bilingual first-time homebuyer workshops and financial counseling, civic engagement and placekeeping projects.

This summer, we partnered with BCNC's Pao Arts Center to launch Residence Lab. At Residence Lab, three community artists teamed up with Chinatown residents to create art that explored the question of "How can we preserve rapidly-changing Chinatown?"

On August 23rd, 5:30-7:30pm, they will be revealing the results of their hard work at the Hudson Lot (8-12 Hudson St). The kick-off will involve music, interactive art, and family-friendly games that all recognize and celebrate what it means to call Chinatown home.

Boston is considered one of the most innovative cities in the world. What are the consequences of being so innovative? How do we work together to responsibly and inclusively grow our regional economy? Similar cities such as Seattle and San Francisco are struggling to work together to solve issues caused by such rapid growth. 

Join us in an honest conversation with experts - advocates, developers, brokers and academics - who will discuss what's occurring in Boston and how we can work proactively and collaboratively to make Boston innovative and inclusive.
