About the Gala

The Vietnamese Commercial Real Estate (VCRE) Charity Gala stands as a symbol of leadership, achievement, and purpose-led impact. Hosted by the Valiance Foundation, this annual black-tie event brings together CEOs, owners, investors, and change makers to build our network, community, celebrate success, and give back to communities in need. Each year, proceeds from the Gala fund scholarships, access to education, community development projects, and humanitarian aid across the U.S. and Vietnam.

Curating Connections

We unite developers, executives, investors, asset managers, policymakers, and philanthropists under one roof, building bridges, fostering partnerships, and cultivating collaboration to drive impact and from partnerships.

Lasting Legacy

Giving back is how we celebrate history with five decades of resilience, progress, and leadership in the Vietnamese American community, while paving the way for the rise of generational change makers in the U.S. commercial real estate sector.
