A COMMITMENT OF GIVING BACK
NCAVAD will continue to participate in the Vietnamese Community Health Events and to build
stronger ties in the community that has given us so much. We are in the initial planning stage to create
an endowment fund for scholarships that will benefit and encourage young Vietnamese students with
academic potentials and need of financial aid. Thus, your active involvement and contribution will
play a key role in the success of NCAVAD as we push forward in our plan to bestow scholarship
support to the Vietnamese Community. We encourage your ideas and donations. Your contribution is
essential for future academia. To show our appreciation and help facilitate others to give, we will
acknowledge contributors in future publications for your generous gift.
