As you're probably aware, Barack Obama will take office as President of the United States when he is sworn in on January 20, 2009. To celebrate the occasion, the AAPI community's Pearl Presidential Inaugural Gala is happening on January 19 at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Washington D.C. It's apparently going to be one big-ass party.
Tickets are already completely sold out, but Asian Americans for Obama is holding a contest for tickets to attend this historic event. As a supporting organization, they're helping to raise money for the Pearl Gala. The individual or organization who raises the most money on behalf of AAFO will win two tickets to the Pearl Gala.
Hey, maybe it's you. It's going to be a big night, and maybe you can lend a hand in raising some cash. For more information about the contest, visit the Asian Americans for Obama website here. To participate, contact Ramey Ko at ramey@asianamericansforobama.com.
