Summer Soiree. A Stylish Evening in SF.

The floor to ceiling glass windows cast a warm light on the vibrant faces of our community on a beautiful San Francisco night in August. And oh, what a night! We ate, drank, danced, and raised more than $10,000 for our community at our annual summer fundraising event. Thank you sponsors, guests, and volunteers! Check out more pictures here thanks to Andrew Zhou! 

First HANA Community and Volunteer Picnic 

Our first HANA Picnic brought together more than 80 new friends to KACF-SF! Thanks to our Associate Board, we enjoyed 'talk-of-the-town' Korean BBQ and learned about volunteer opportunities in our community.

The HANA Community is our volunteer and engagement group. We have many volunteer opportunities serving the Korean American community. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please reach out to Hee Won at
heewonkim@kacfsf.org!
