Win prizes and raise money for SF schools!

Each year the Asian Heritage Street Celebration brings together great prizes to raise money for San Francisco public schools.

This year more than twenty prizes include a pair of round trip tickets to Asia donated by Cathay Pacific Airlines, a pair of round trip airplane tickets anywhere in the U.S., an iPod Touch 8 GB donated by Brown & Toland, a $1,000 gift certificate for high end jewelry at Judith Ripka, plus great Giants tickets, hotel stays, Go Kart rides and much more!

Money from raffle tickets sold by each school go directly to each school, with 100% of proceeds guaranteed to be returned to the schools.

Raffle tickets are sold for $3 each.

Last year 25 schools participated, representing over 17,000 students. The program raised close to $10,000 for school supplies, books, Chinese classes, field trips, sports teams, and other items. Accounting services for the program were provided by Louie & Wong LLP.

The Asian Heritage Street Celebration is the largest gathering of Asians in America. It takes place on the third Saturday of every May, this year May 17, 2008 in San Francisco’s Japantown on Post Street between Fillmore and Laguna.
