Dear TANG Family,

We hope everyone is safe and healthy. As we announced in March, we canceled our conference with everyone’s safety concerns in mind. As July 4th approaches, our leadership have had additional discussions about the the importance of bringing the community together. We have been inspired by everyone being able to engage online and have decided to take the opportunity to pilot a smaller scale engagement to build on the TANG connections that have already formed.

We are announcing the two following virtual events this year to bring us together!

Taiwanese American Helping Hands Virtual Walk and Run

• Hosted by TANG, this is a a free all ages virtual event happening between July 3rd – July 6th!
• Our goal is to bring together our Taiwanese American community even though we are physically apart. Feel free to invite any Taiwanese American or friends to participate!
• You can either walk or run the 5K or 1 mile and self-time yourself.
• Registration Deadline is July 2, 2020.
• Inspired by Taiwan’s humanitarian efforts during the COVID-19 crisis, we believe we too can lend “Helping Hands” to the communities here at home.
• We are asking participants for donations and have selected Taiwanese Association of America-USA’s “Love Covers US All” fundraiser to be the recipient of this year’s donations. TAA-USA’s goal is to raise $100,000 to provide necessary PPE to our front-line workers.
