And with that, our 2025 Ebb and Flow Gala comes to a close...

We’d like to sincerely thank you all our sponsors, speakers, students, and guests for attending! Your support not only made this event possible, but also made an impact on the AASuccess family. We couldn’t have been so successful without all your support.

The Ebb and Flow Gala isn’t just a single evening-it’s a reminder of why we come together: to learn, to uplift, and to inspire. Tonight, we celebrated achievements, shared stories, and created memories that will carry us forward into our next chapter.

Thank you for being a part of our journey and walking alongside us as we continue to grow alongside a strong and compassionate community. We can’t wait to see you again next year!

Hi friends!! Just 1 more day until our 2025 Ebb and Flow Gala. And now that we are so so close to our big event, we want to slow down and share with you our story. Why we do what we do and what it means to us.

At AASuccess, we believe in helping our students reach beyond the horizon and achieve their dreams. Our gala theme, “Ebb and Flow”, celebrates the accomplishments and positive impacts we have made within our organization, students, and community.

And as we draw so close to our gala, we’d like to share some thoughts from our founder, Dave Nguyen.

“AAS started nearly 20 years ago in the U.S. with a very simple idea. Help each person grow. Not just in skills or academics, but in how they live, how they lead, how they carry themselves in difficult moments. That model worked for a lot of young people, especially Vietnamese Americans, many of whom after 20 years are now thriving in their careers. AAS is to build something with the right people. With shared values. With the understanding that this is not about importing solutions. It’s about co-creating a meaningful, long-term journey forward and together.”
