Rising Together.
Building Deaf Asian Leaders of Tomorrow.

Ring in the Lunar New Year with the Metropolitan Asian Deaf Association. Our first fundraising gala will bring together culture, celebration, and community in one unforgettable evening.

As we welcome the Lunar New Year, join leaders, advocates, and supporters for a night of connections, shared stories, and renewed commitment to the Deaf Asian community. Together, we will reflect on MADA’s journey, acknowledge the challenges our community continues to face, and invest in the work ahead so Deaf Asian Leaders of Tomorrow can thrive. Your presence helps amplify voices, strengthen access, and create opportunities where they are most needed.

Guests will enjoy an elegant sit-down dinner, music by a Deaf DJ, and immersive cultural performances that reflect the richness and diversity of Asian heritage. Each moment of the evening is designed to celebrate connection while advancing MADA’s mission of advocacy, inclusion, and empowerment.

This gala is more than a celebration. It is a call to support meaningful changes in 2026. 

Your ticket purchase will help supports free, accessible community workshops, educational programs, cultural events, and advocacy for the Asian Deaf community across the New York Metropolitan area. Past free events have included Deaf Asian Street Festival, STEM workshops, Seniors Day, and Family Day. 

Proceeds from the gala will help reduce admission costs for our signature programs, including MADA Camp, Deaf Asian Seniors Conference, and Deaf Asian Leadership Summit.  

Your support fuels hope. We look forward to welcoming you and introducing you to an extraordinary community of Deaf Asian Leaders, partners, and allies. Your energy, dedication, and generosity make this evening possible and will continue to carry MADA’s work forward long after the celebration.
