On behalf of the Vietnamese American Roundtable (VAR), we cordially invite you to join us on Thursday, April 30th, 2026, at the Rotary Summit Center to commemorate the 51st anniversary of the Fall of Saigon, also known as “Black April.”
The Fall of Saigon on April 30th, 1975 marked the end of the Vietnam War and catalyzed the mass exodus of refugees from the Republic of Việt Nam (Việt Nam Cộng Hoà) and Southeast Asia across the world.
The 2026's 51st Commemoration of Black April "Futures After Fifty: Finding Freedom" will be VAR’s 14th Annual Black April Commemoration. The event will feature a stage program with inspiring performances and remarks from community leaders, interactive educational exhibits exploring immigrant and refugee issues, and the opportunity to build community as we continue to remember and reflect upon the past 5 decades of Vietnamese American sacrifices, struggles, and lasting legacies present in San José and across the United States of America.
For this year’s event, doors will open at 4:30 pm, and the program will begin promptly at 5:00 pm. This event is free and open to the public with support from our funders and sponsors. Black attire is encouraged.
Since its founding in 2015, the Vietnamese National Association of Real Estate Professionals (VNARP) has served as a vital bridge connecting real estate professionals within Vietnamese communities nationwide. Headquartered in San Jose, California, VNARP has grown into a respected organization with over 100 members, multiple active chapters, and a mission centered on unity, empowerment, and community service. The organization believes deeply in the power of community and has built a platform where Vietnamese real estate professionals can authentically connect, share experiences, and grow together. VNARP's core values emphasize education, empowerment, and the development of meaningful business relationships that extend both domestically and internationally. Cultural enrichment sits at the heart of VNARP's identity, with the organization celebrating Vietnamese heritage through food, fashion, and festivals that strengthen bonds among members and their broader communities.

The organization has expanded to include chapters in Houston, Southern California, Southeast regions, and the Silicon Valley area, demonstrating its commitment to serving Vietnamese communities across diverse markets.

Founded in 1987 and incorporated in 1989, the Vietnamese Physician Association of Northern California (VPANC) represents a vital bridge between the medical profession and the Vietnamese American community in San Jose, CA and throughout Northern California. As a non-profit organization, VPANC has maintained its core mission for over three decades: promoting friendship and professionalism among its physician members while contributing meaningfully to the development and wellbeing of the Vietnamese American community through professional activities.
What distinguishes VPANC is its deep commitment to culturally competent healthcare and community empowerment. The association recognizes that effective healthcare requires understanding cultural context, which is why Vietnamese is the primary language used across all community programs and outreach initiatives. Since 1989, VPANC has consistently organized social and professional gatherings—from annual picnics to New Year celebrations—that strengthen bonds among members while fostering a sense of community belonging.
The association's community outreach programs reflect a comprehensive approach to public health. Beyond hosting health fairs and educational seminars, VPANC produces weekly radio and television segments on health topics, ensuring that accurate medical information reaches Vietnamese-speaking residents throughout the region. The organization's longest-running initiative, its annual scholarship program for high school students, demonstrates VPANC's investment in cultivating the next generation of Vietnamese American leaders. Every program is intentionally designed to be community-oriented and culturally sensitive, embodying VPANC's belief that professional excellence and community service are inseparable.
Founded in 1998, the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Northern California (VABANC) has grown into a vibrant community of Vietnamese American attorneys, judges, law students, and legal professionals united by shared values and commitment to service. Operating from San Jose, California, VABANC exists to give Vietnamese American legal professionals a collective voice on matters affecting their community while fostering meaningful professional relationships and personal growth among members. The organization's rich history reflects decades of dedication to supporting emerging generations of Vietnamese attorneys and creating pathways for community impact. At its core, VABANC is driven by a strong sense of community responsibility, recognizing that legal professionals have a unique opportunity to serve the public interest. This commitment manifests through the VABANC Legal Clinic, launched in 2016 and operating monthly at the Vietnamese American Service Center in San Jose, where volunteer attorneys and law students provide direct legal assistance to residents facing housing, immigration, employment, and family law challenges. The establishment of the VABANC Law Foundation as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization in 2010 further demonstrates the association's dedication to advancing justice and expanding legal resources for underrepresented and underserved populations. VABANC actively collaborates with other Asian American community organizations to address systemic issues affecting its members and their communities. Through committee work, volunteer opportunities, and regular member gatherings, VABANC cultivates an inclusive environment where legal professionals can contribute meaningfully to San Jose's Vietnamese American community while advancing their own professional journeys.
