树华基金会官方博客 (Soar Blog)

大家都很关心树华在四川的学生是否安全，两天前和树华北京义工通过电话，树华在四川的学生们都安全，只有一位在汶川的学生目前还没有联络到，北京义工还在继续联络。

根據所能查到的資料，將歷年獲獎學生進入大學的人數列表如下。樹華1996年開始發獎學金，获奖學生ID為“1”開頭，共5個數字，2002年以後獲獎學生大部分尚未高中畢業，故沒把入大學资料放在表中。1996至2001年獲獎學生平均約有 23% 進入大學。(楊湘韻)

Our Dearest SOAR Friends:
 
The annual fund raising party of the SOAR Foundation will take place this coming May 25^th, a Sunday at a dinner at the Dynasty in Cupertino.
 
We urge your participation with more of your friends whom you believe will be good donors and supporters like yourself to SOAR.
 
In the past 13 years, your generous donations have enabled the SOAR Foundation to change the lives of close to 10,000 young students by allowing them the opportunities for their continued academic pursuits. We urge you to exert sustained and even enhanced financial support to the Foundation this year for these reasons:
 
1)   Rapid growth of number of students puts about 2,500 students in our current year scholarship portfolio.
 
2)   SOAR has extended its operation to emphasize the support of vocational school education to further our efforts in augmenting the Chinese of their “elimination of poverty” undertakings.
 
While we know we are making even better and greater use of your funds, the Foundation will also face a budgetary deficit of about $300,000 for 2008.
 
We plan to use this dinner opportunity to conduct on-site fund raising at a low key, non-pressure mode. So as to gather more charitable funds without hurting SOAR’s humble and moderate image as a soft talk persuader that we have always been.
 
Please feel free to contact Mr. Davy Kao at davykao@ca.asatound.net telephone (925)287-0094, for any questions or suggestions that you may have.  We look forward to your strong support at the party and on going.
 
 
Sincerely Yours,
 
 
 
 
Siu Fong Chang
President 2008
