RSVP for Hmong Heritage Dinner

media release: The Hmong Institute's annual Heritage Dinner is Friday, May 3, from 5:30-9 pm at Monona Terrace. The Heritage Dinner is the premier fundraising event for The Hmong Institute and for the Hmong and Southeast Asian community. The event celebrates the achievements of the Hmong and Southeast Asian community and how we have BLOOMED over the past year. The event provides a space for the Hmong and Southeast Asian community to celebrate and share their culture. This is the first time we are hosting the event at Monona Terrace as we want to honor the contributions of the Hmong and Southeast Asian community in a space that is fitting of their sacrifice and contribution. The deadline for ticket purchases is April 25.

The dinner helps raise funds to support the work of The Hmong Institute's Hmoob Kaj Siab program that provides mental health support to Hmong, Lao, Khmer, Tibetan, and Nepali elders, Hmong Language and Culture Enrichment Program that creates a safe and supportive learning environment for students to enhance their academic skills, prepare them for college and their careers through learning about their native language and culture, and the food distribution program that provides food security to over 450 families.

Please join us in our annual fundraiser in support of the Hmong and Southeast Asian community and as we celebrate Asian Pacific American History Month in May. Bring your family, friends, and colleagues for an authentic Hmong dinner, silent auction with Hmong inspired arts and crafts, and enjoy Hmong musicians and cultural performances.
