Please join me in donating to Mr. Jaime Chu, 71 years old elder, who was viciously attacked outside his home. Mr. Chu, a Oakland resident since 1967, lost 7 teeth when he was dragged face down for nearly a block.

Funds raised will be used to help pay his dental and medical bills. Your contributions will make a big difference to help Mr. Chu and other victims in the AAPI Community. Thanks in advance for your support.

The Oakland Chinatown Chamber Foundation is a 501c3 organization and is accepting donations on behalf of Mr. Chu.

FUNDRAISER UPDATE

Thanks to the generosity of numerous individual donors and corporate donors such as Gilead Sciences Inc., PG&E Foundation, and Oakland A's, we surpassed our original goal and will start working with vendors to have new high definition cameras installed, existing cameras upgraded, and improved street lighting installed on Harrison Street by Lincoln Square. We worked with Oakland Police Department to identify the highest crime areas in Oakland Chinatown and have identified the best corners to place the cameras to help capture the criminal activities and criminals. New cameras will be installed in the following corners:

7th & Harrison
10th & Harrison
11th Harrison
10 & Webster
11th & Webster
7th & Franklin
7th & Webster
9th & Webster

Cameras will be upgraded in the following corners:
8th & Harrison
8th & Webster
8th & Franklin
9th & Franklin

Thanks to all of our donors, these added and upgraded cameras and lighting will help ensure that we have a safer Chinatown. We are shooting to have the project completed by the end of 2021. Thank you to all our donors!!!

Why should you donate?

As a linchpin of the Asian Community, Oakland Chinatown’s heritage and success needs to be protected. Recent criminal attacks, including those against our elders and merchants, highlight the safety issues in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic which cause many businesses to remain boarded up or closed.

Where will the funds go?

The Oakland Chinatown Chamber Foundation, on behalf of the Oakland Chinatown community, seeks to raise funding for:

· Security cameras to be added to the existing system to help deter crime and increase merchant and visitor safety ($75,000)

· Community Ambassadors to assist with programs such as multi-lingual community engagement, litter and graffiti abatement and homeless outreach, resulting in improving the quality of life and safety of the neighborhood ($18,000)

· Safety Awareness educational programs for residents and merchants to promote a safe environment and community ($7,000)

Who benefits from your donation?

The diverse and vibrant residents, merchants and visitors of the Oakland Chinatown community

Oakland Chinatown Fire Recovery
Oakland Chinatown is once again hit by devastation with a five-alarm fire on the morning of September 16, 2020. We are thankful that there are no fatalities from the fire and that the 80 firefighters were able to contain the fire to one two-story building on the corner of Eighth and Webster Streets. Sixteen businesses were devastated by the fire, including T&K Café, Gum Wah Restaurant, Rang Dong Restaurant, Huangcheng Noodle, Aloha Market, Great Wall Company, and Anson Travel. A few of these businesses are interested in relocating and rebuilding their business in Oakland Chinatown.

The Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce looks forward to helping these businesses re-establish themselves so that we can continue to have a variety of restaurants, retail stores, and professional businesses available to service the community. We invite you to help these businesses rebuild themselves and keep Chinatown a thriving community by making a tax-deductible donation through the Oakland Chinatown Chamber Foundation (EIN 37-1433643). The Foundation will administer grants available to the impacted businesses for the purpose of relocating and rebuilding their business in Oakland Chinatown.
