2026 Chopstix for Charity Gala

Join the National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP) Atlanta Chapter for the 29th Annual Chopstix for Charity Gala, an evening dedicated to celebrating community, culture, leadership, and impact.

This year, we invite you to Illuminate. Together, we light the way forward through connection, generosity, and a shared commitment to strengthening our communities.

For nearly three decades, the Chopstix for Charity Gala has brought together leaders, professionals, nonprofit partners, and changemakers to celebrate the power of service and collective action. The evening honors our community partners and grant recipients whose work continues to create meaningful change across Metro Atlanta and beyond.

At NAAAP Atlanta, we believe in building leaders . Through our programs, partnerships, and community initiatives, we invest in developing our community of leaders while supporting organizations that are creating lasting impact. The Gala serves as both a celebration of those efforts and a call to action for what we can accomplish together.

Just as a single light can brighten a room, each act of generosity helps create opportunities, empower communities, and inspire future leaders.

Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring inspiring keynote speakers, cultural and musical performances, recognition of our community partners, presentation of our annual grants, awards honoring exceptional leaders, fine dining, and opportunities to connect with fellow professionals and supporters.

Join us as we celebrate the people and organizations helping our communities shine brighter and illuminate the path forward for generations to come.
