MAP for Health is celebrating it 15^th anniversary with its fabulous new MAP Can Cook event on Friday evening, May 20, 2011.

This event is a fundraiser for MAP's work, but it is also an opportunity to engage community members and build a base of supporters for our mission.  

The centerpiece of the event will be Iron Chef-style cooking competition by two teams of MAP's Asian Pride Youth Participants, led by surprise guest Asian American community youth leaders.  The dishes prepared in the competition will be sampled and judged that evening.

The evening will also feature Asian appetizers, beer & wine, and dancing. 

MAP will present its S.H. Chua community recognition awards to photgrapher Anh Ðào Kolbe and Karen Young & the Genki Spark Asian American Women's Performance Troupe.  The Genki Spark and MAP's Asian Pride youth group will be featured entertainment.

Tickets are $50 per person until through May 2; $75 per person from May 3 to the evening of the event, at-the-door.

Please join us to celebrate 15 years of MAP for Health!
