Curry Clash 2024 was a huge success!

Our 10th annual Curry Clash fundraiser brought in a record breaking $84,000+ in support for the Asian Center’s programs. 25 local chefs were featured, sharing their curry-inspired creations with over 400 guests. 52 businesses and households showed their support through sponsorships. Over 155 Kind Neighbor Society donors were recognized for their generous partnership.

We are so very thankful for our chefs, who donate their time and talents to make this incredible foodie event possible! And grateful to our sponsors for their faithful support of the Asian Center’s mission!
