The soft rustle of palm trees in the breeze. The warm sand beneath your feet. The setting sun’s golden light melting into shades of purple over the ocean at dusk. Whether it’s the beaches of Kenting and Hualien in Taiwan or on islands and coasts around the world, tropical places offer more than just lush scenery. These communities and places embody a sense of family, of gathering, of connection, bathed by the sun and enriched by the sea.
It is in that spirit we present “Tropical Nights, Community Lights” — the theme of our 2025 Annual Fundraising Gala & Auction. The Community Services Center is proud to invite leaders, champions, partners, and friends like you to gather, feast, and fundraise for our important mission: supporting Taiwan’s international community through mental health counseling, activities, and resources.
Come meet up for faces familiar and new and catch up over fine conversation. Wear your favorite island-themed shirt or dress. Get in the vibe over tropical drinks and a night of dining, laughter, and purpose! Plus, we have some exciting entertainment lined up—expect a few surprises that we’ll be revealing soon…
Please note: Each table seats 10 guests. If you would like to purchase an entire table, please select 10 tickets.

Step into paradise with vibrant, island-inspired style! Think breezy fabrics, floral prints, and bold hues that bring color to the ballroom.
