AYLUS Pearland Branch proudly partnered with Pearland Market Days in a spirited event that underscored the values of community connection and support. Volunteers from AYLUS Pearland engaged in various activities, from greeting attendees to sharing joyful experiences with children, all in the vibrant atmosphere created by this valued local collaboration.
AYLUS Pearland received a complimentary booth, generously provided by Pearland Market Days, which became a hub for fundraising activities. The booth was adorned with posters highlighting the branch’s community initiatives, and volunteers handed out balloon creations in exchange for donations. Additionally, crafts made by special needs individuals from the Special Needs Caring Center (SNCC) were available for purchase, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting skill-building programs for these artisans.
A standout moment of the event was the exhilarating performance by the Pearland Chinese Association (PCA) Dragon Dance Team, with many members also representing AYLUS. The dynamic dragon dance, combined with the spirit of camaraderie and community generosity, brought a festive energy to the gathering.
