Community Supporters
APAS has benefited tremendously from our community supporters. Ted and Michelle Namba led an effort to organize a golf tournament at the Arizona Biltmore to raise funds for APAS. The Asian Chamber of Commerce, the Asian Student Coalition, and several community members participated in making this a terrific inaugural event. Over 75 golfers came out to enjoy a morning of golf. Alan Artibise, our dean, demonstrated his support by providing items for the silent auction. This event demonstrates the community’s commitment to APAS.
