Amongst the sea of pink in Newport Beach of Orange County, TAP-OC joined Team Taiwan and helped fill the streets of Newport on the morning of September 22nd. Both current and alumni board members from our fellow neighbors in TAP-LA also came to OC to show support!

Together, we completed the Susan G Komen More Than Pink 5k with North America Taiwanese Women Association (NATWA) to show support for breast cancer research and survivors. Our team was one of the larger collective groups that participated with Team Taiwan recognized as a Top Team with approximately 100 Taiwanese and Taiwanese Americans of first, second and third generation gathering to support this great cause. The event brought out around 10,000 people for the event and raised about $768,000 as reported by the organizers.

 

 

 

 

 

TAP-OC has joined Team Taiwan for this annual event for many consecutive years, helping the group achieve a new record high of participants.

We hope we’ll have even more participants join us next year!
