Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Tri-State Area (RMHC) will conduct a live webcast of the 2013 RMHC/ASIA (Asian Students Increasing Achievement) Scholarship Program Awards Ceremony on May 17 from 11:30am – 1:30pm at http://bit.ly/2013rmhcasia.

Held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the awards ceremony will honor the six recipients of the 2013 RMHC/ASIA Scholarship Program, who will each be awarded a $17,000 scholarship in recognition of their service to the community and academic achievements. The event will be hosted by FOX 5 News anchor Christina Park and feature speeches by community leaders, past scholarship recipients, cultural performances and a special keynote address delivered by newly-appointed NYPD Community Affairs Chief Thomas Chan.

“By webcasting the awards ceremony, we not only have the opportunity to promote the RMHC/ASIA Scholarship Program to a wider audience but also provide our winners with the opportunity to share their amazing achievements with their family and friends from all over the world,” said Christopher Perry, Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House Charities of the New York Tri-State Area. “We also hope this event will inspire more students to apply for the 2014 scholarship, which we will begin accepting applications for in the Fall of 2013.” ‘)}
