Silent and Live Auction 爱心拍卖
The silent auction offered our attendees a unique opportunity to bid on a diverse array of items, from Chinese artifacts to tickets and passes for cultural experiences across the Greater Boston area. Guests took their time exploring the offerings, and bidding remained spirited throughout the evening until the auction closed at 8:15 p.m.
The live auction that followed was a highlight of the night, drawing enthusiastic participation from across the room. Among the most sought-after lots were Red Sox vs. Yankees tickets, a collection of fine wines, a week-long stay at a villa in Tuscany, and original scrolls and oil paintings donated by talented artists. The bidding was lively and generous, and the Pledge of Hope that closed the auction brought the room together in a powerful display of collective commitment to our mission.
Entertainment 精彩演出
Following the awards, our guests were treated to two captivating performances. Cecilia Wong took the stage with a striking sword dance, commanding the room with precision and grace. Jean Lukitsh then delivered a beautiful rendition of Leung Yi, adding an extra layer of artistry and elegance to the celebration. Together, these performances showcased the richness of Chinese performing arts and culture.
