April 2, 2024 - New York, NY– The AKP Sports Foundation (AKP SF) is proud to announce the commencing of the Korean American Soccer Tournament (KAST) East Coast on April 13th in Wards Island Park in New York City. As our third annual tournament, this year’s KAST will be the largest ever- hosting 15 universities to compete in the tournament. This event brings together Korean American–and more broadly, Asian American–college students, alumni and young professionals across the country to network, serve their local communities and unify under the banner of sports.
AKP SF will also be hosting a panel event with cadets from the United States Military Academy (West Point). The panel event will be held at New York City Presbyterian Church on Friday, April 12th from 7 pm to 9 pm. AKP leadership and staff members will speak to the cadets on AKP’s mission and vision which will be accompanied by a career panel for the cadets to network and gain valuable insight from AKP.
For AKP’s Cares Initiative, AKP will be partnering with Heart of Dinner, a local non-profit organization dedicated to combating food insecurity and supporting marginalized communities through its impactful programs. Over 400 attendees will participate in this service event, dedicated to crafting handmade bags for AAPI seniors in the community, demonstrating AKP’s collective dedication to serving and uplifting our elderly AAPI community.
Jaeseok Choi, Vice President of AKP Sports Foundation added, “It’s a true blessing to host this event for the third year in a row in the heart of NYC for the next generation of Asian Americans.
