KACF’s Circle of Friends events are intimate and informal gatherings hosted by members of the board of directors, as well as advisors, patrons and other individuals interested in KACF. The goal of these events is to introduce KACF to potential new supporters, answer questions and encourage attendees to support the organization by volunteering and/or signing on to the “Dollar a Day” campaign. Attendees socialize and network, while helping KACF broaden its circle of friends.

Halloween Bash

Advisory board member Sunny Yoon and his wife, Seonah Lee, hosted a Circle of Friends Halloween party for KACF over the Halloween weekend in their elegant Manhattan home. A very special thanks to Sunny and Seonah, thanks to whom we were able to raise $3,000 from 50 guests.
