2009 Silk Road Gala
The Silk Road Gala is the annual fundraising benefit for the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence (ATASK). The Gala tradition began in 1994 in efforts to fund ATASK’s first Asian shelter, the only one in New England. ATASK is a private, non-profit organization, which caters to over 300 battered Asian families and children every year. Donations raised through the gala assist those whose lives were affected by violence, provide help to become productive and self-sufficient members of society.
ATASK would like to thank everyone who joined us in making the 2009 Silk Road Gala a success. We want to thank our sponsors, hosts, the celebrity chefs, guests, volunteers and everyone who helped us make this evening possible.
Thank you for supporting our cause and contributing to the fight against domestic violence.

Get Involved - Annual Fund
The Japanese art of paper folding, origami, is centuries old. The crane is one of the most classic folds and is recognized internationally to represent peace. The story of 1,000 cranes originates from a folk legend that says if you fold 1,000 cranes, you will get your wish.
