Lend a helping hand, make a brighter day
Founded in 2016, the Belmont Chinese American Association (BCAA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the core mission to preserve the cultural heritage and to promote the participation of Chinese Americans in the cultural and civic life of our community (https://bcaa-ma.org/about/).
The BCAA has donated 30,000 face masks[1][2] to several local hospitals, Belmont first responders and residents at higher risk (see news reports below). We are now raising funds to purchase 10,000 N95 respirators valued at $35,000. All of these N95s will be donated to nearby hospitals.
The goal of the fundraising is $15,000. The fundraising campaign ends at 8 pm on Friday, March 27, 2020.
