Dear Sunflower Mission Supporters:

It's finally time to pack up those winter coats and gloves. Spring is here and we are ready to kick off the season of blossoms and bunnies with some family fun! Join us for an afternoon of food, games, good company, and of course information about 2013 SM activities.

Right now, there is a student in Vietnam that will never reach her full potential. She will never get the opportunities to read a book, use a computer, or even attend school.

Together, we can change her reality. We can give her the opportunity to dream.

This year, Sunflower Mission celebrates its 10th Anniversary - 10 years of making dreams come true...

On April 30, 2011, New York University's Vietnamese Students Association (VSA) hosted it's first annual Semi-Formal charity event. With over 150 tickets sold and 200 guests in attendance, the student run club successfully raised funds for the Sunflower Mission and increased awareness about the organization to the NYU community and the local Vietnamese community...

David Manusov was a community-minded individual working on a Boy Scout Eagle project to raise funds to build a school for "at risk" kids in Vietnam. In Oct. 2010, sadly, David passed away. His father, Mark Manusov, along with his family and friends have made a commitment to seeing his goal is achieved.

Please join us for Building a Legacy: David Manusov. Registration is $18. Net proceeds will go directly to building a school in Vietnam. The registration fee allows you to participate in one, two or all three events: Walk-A-Thon, Chess Tournament, and/or Super Smash Bros. video game tournament...

Dear Sunflower Mission FunPlex Volunteers,

Thank you for answering our call and volunteering your services (artistic and otherwise) this year. The event was such a success and much of that is due to the work you put into helping at the crafts table or with face painting. It was no small feat! With the throngs of people pushing to get past each other, it was the small child, sitting in the chair, patiently waiting to see your handi-work that was most important to each volunteer. When that moment came and they looked in the mirror, their eyes widened, the slightly weary face lit up into a smile, and an excited nod signaled your success!

Please save the date of Friday September 25th, 2009 for Sunflower Mission’s “Sing for the Children.” Details as follows:

An evening (7pm-11pm) of fun and good music at Hội Quán Saigon Houston, at 10613 Bellaire, in the Saigon Houston Plaza....
