Asian Pacific Women’s Center Holds Tenth Annual Metamorphosis Gala at the Disney Concert Hall on May 17, 2012 at 6pm

Honoring Verizon, Little Tokyo Service Center, and Divinia Geronimo

Los Angeles, California (May 2, 2012) – Asian Pacific Women’s Center (APWC), located in Los Angeles, California, presents its 10th Annual Metamorphosis Gala at Walt Disney Concert Hall on May 17, 2012 from 6 – 9 p.m. Open to the public, ticket sales are available at www.apwcla.org. The APWC Metamorphosis Gala is the primary fundraising event for APWC, a nonprofit agency and shelter serving women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. Honorees for this year include Verizon, Outstanding Corporate Partner; Little Tokyo Service Center, Outstanding Community Partner; and Divinia Geronimo, Outstanding Volunteer; with Korean-American singer-songwriter Susie Suh as the featured performer.

“We are extremely excited to highlight the tremendous work made possible by our supporters and honorees," stated Tina Lin, Gala Chair. "Each of them has demonstrated their whole-hearted commitment to improving our community and brought real impact to those affected by domestic violence. This year, we celebrate a major renovation and renewal of the transitional shelter that houses our domestic violence survivors - a safe and fresh environment is critical to our clients and their healing. In the spirit of renewal, we look back and honor our earliest partner, Little Tokyo Service Center – they helped APWC open its shelter doors.

APWC provides multi-cultural and multi-lingual support for families of all races and backgrounds who are survivors of domestic violence. “Every donation to APWC helps underserved minority women and children with the resources and skills they need to become confident and independent after leaving a violent home. Our Metamorphosis Gala pays tribute to our clients’ transformation and to the tremendous work of our dedicated staff, volunteers and donors in aiding that metamorphosis.” stated Syndi Hoa Driscoll, President of the Board of Trustees for APWC.

APWC is also committed to education and outreach, raising awareness about domestic violence, and violence prevention. For more information about the Asian Pacific Women’s Center and the Metamorphosis Gala, please contact Kristina Yoon at (818) 925-8238 or visit www.apwcla.org.

In Los Angeles, Little Ethiopia and Koreatown are separated by five short miles, while their respective countries operate six hours apart.
