About CBC Foundation
CBC (Citizens for Better Community) Foundation is established by a group of Chinese American enthusiasts who seek to bring more awareness and recognition of the Chinese American culture to the community; develop a healthy and vibrant community by strengthening the partnerships between Chinese Americans and the diverse cultures of the Bay Area; inspire the Chinese American population to get more involved and contribute to the community-at-large mainly in the areas of education, health and business; support organizations and projects which promote understanding and appreciation of the Chinese American culture; and to sponsor events and programs which will encourage more Chinese Americans to be active and effective participants in the community.
