On Sunday, March 1 2015, the Chinese Professional Club
(CPC) will hold its 61st Lunar New Year's Scholarship Gala,
and celebrate the year of the Ram at the Westin Oaks Hotel.
CPC was established in 1950 as a professional organization to
improve the professional knowledge and business skills of the
members through lectures and roundtable discussions. The
club also promoted the general welfare of the community
through activities to advance the mutual understanding and
social enjoyment of the members with regular social
gatherings.
CPC Scholarship Fund, Inc. was set up in 1977 to provide
funding for educational scholarships, which are awarded to
deserving high school seniors of Chinese decent in the
Houston Metropolitan area. Through generous donations from
corporations, private companies and individuals, CPC has
proudly awarded over 300 scholarships that have exceeded
$400,000 since its inception. The scholarships have inspired
our youth to achieve their highest scholastic abilities.
We would like to invite you to become one of our sponsors
and to join us in this very worthwhile endeavor. Contribution
levels are as follows:
Diamond Table !$5,000
Gold Table-! $2,500
Silver Table -!$1,500
Your generous support will be acknowledged in our printed
materials, as well as with other benefits listed on the attached
page. As CPC is a 501 ( c) (3) Texas non-profit organization,
