KACF 20TH ANNIVERSARY GALA: CELEBRATE ELEVATE
www.kacfgala2022.org
On May 11th, nearly 900 members of the KACF community joined us at Cipriani Wall Street to commemorate 20 years of driving social change through philanthropy and to celebrate the impact of three individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to lifting up the stories and voices of the Korean American community: Joseph Y. Bae, co-CEO of KKR; Lee Jung-jae, actor and star of Squid Game; and Michelle Zauner, bestselling author of Crying in H Mart and head of Grammy-nominated band Japanese Breakfast.
ABOUT KACF
The Korean American Community Foundation's mission is to transform and empower communities through philanthropy, volunteerism and inter-community bridge building. Our vision is a vibrant Korean American community working together to strengthen our society.
Since its inception in 2002, the Foundation has awarded over $10 million in grants and provided culturally competent capacity building assistance to nonprofits addressing economic insecurity in the Korean and wider Asian American community. Equally important, KACF has fostered a culture of giving among Korean Americans, mobilizing the power of philanthropy to give rise to longstanding change.

My bag is packed The journey's on My plan is set It's time to act Soon I'll be gone I won't forget Thank you room Thank you palace Hope that you don't mind But I got a life to find Now all of the fish in the sea can't stop me All of the waves in the world can't rock me I'm on the mission and gee just watch me go Dive All that left is the dive Don't forget To close your eyes and hold your breath Now ready set Take the dive No don't look back Don't say good bye Just leave it all behind And soon the sun, the stars, the sky won't just be in my mind Hello earth Hello family Hello brand new life I bet the folks in the street will smile How do you do, say it's been a while I have this journey for every mile and more Dive All that left is the dive Hold your breath Now just take the plunge and say the pray Soon enough you'll make it there And when you're standing at the edge With both your feet upon the planch Don't look back Don't have fear Just let your inhibition disappear I've waited for all of my life And now it's finally time I'm running towards a world that once was mine I'm on my way Appa I swear I'm coming soon I'll be right there I'll leave the city in my way And take the dive

So lovely! Kudos, young ladies... especially Julia Riew as composer and lyricist. Bravo! I'm not Korean-American, but I *am* looking forward to one day seeing the movie!

Something about this song and the chorus makes me so emotional 🥹. It is so moving, just as this type of music should be.

[@juleene_amo4924]

I just know I’m going to be crying from the emotion when we get the full show! 😄
