Asian Arts Initiative's Annual Spring 2011 Benefit Banquet and Auction was a great success this year! With around 300 guests to support us in our mission, Ocean City Restaurant was bouncing with high spirits and generosity. The amazing gifts from local businesses, restaurants, artists, and individuals in the Philadelphia Community helped to make incredibly tempting auction baskets for our bidders! The event opened with performances from Saving Thomas, a local Philadelphia band, and the Philadelphia Suns who starting the banquet off with a bang with a Lion dance.  As our guests enjoyed an 8 course dinner from Ocean City Restaurant, we were all treated with poems from Board Member Edward Garcia, and a beautifuL performance from Atma, UPenn's female South Asian fusion acapella group. After finishing the delicious and filling dinner, our raffle prize winners were chosen and our bid winners were announced! Congratulations to our many winners and thank you to all of our supporters and volunteers!
