<p>Environmental awareness in Shanghai is a philanthropic project that BCCF is currently undertaking, and the Black Card Circle Intimate Mixer on Friday evening, May 27, 2011 at the top of the new Ritz-Carlton in Shanghai, Pudong will provide the perfect backdrop for launching this initiative.</p>
<p>In addition, both the Black Card Circle and the Black Card Circle Foundation will be highlighting and raising awareness of the tremendous work that the Asian Youth Center (AYC) led by Executive Director Ms. Doreen Wong is doing in Los Angeles in community development and poverty relief. And now, with an official bridge between the United States and China, AYC will draw upon additional resources and contacts in the fastest growing economy in the world in fulfilling its mission to serve low-income youth and their families.</p>
