PROJECT STRENGTH

2005
“Project Strength” Hand Embroidery Display:

AACSN is organizing a new project to honor those who are battling or fought cancer. Our current project is inspired by the Vietnamese hand embroidery craft, so we are making an embroidered Quilt display listing all the names of those who donated on behalf of cancer patients throughout the year leading to HATWALK 2005. You can see the completed artwork at the upcoming November gala.

With a small donation, we include the name if someone want to honor who has been affected by cancer. Please contact Kendra if you would like have your name added to the quilt.

2004
“Project Strength” Crane Display:
AACSN volunteers organized a fundraising project and built a beautiful origami crane display with paper cranes sponsored through donations. The display honored the courage of cancer fighters who endured and battled the disease. The making of origami cranes first attracted the world’s attention in late-1950s when Sadako Sasaki, a 12-year-old survivor of leukemia caused by the Hiroshima bomb, attempted to fold 1,000 cranes after hearing a legend about the wish-granting powers of such an effort.

This project was completed and presented to Yu Ai Kai. You can see this display at the San Jose center.
