僑社星岛日报： 雲吞公司向僑校捐款5萬元
Wonton Food Company Donates $50,000 to New York Chinese School
雲吞公司於18日再向華僑學校捐款5萬元，作以校務運作之用。中華公所主席朱超然、僑校校長王憲筠以及僑校顧問伍銳賢等出席交接儀式。
伍銳賢介紹，自己與黃青新相識數十年，隨著雲吞食品公司的不斷發展，黃青新與伍銳賢二人遂商議設置畢業獎學金項目，由雲吞公司旗下青新文化藝術基金會捐資，向每年從校畢業、並有意繼續學習中文的畢業生頒發獎學金。2018年，黃青新與時任中華公所主席的伍銳賢正式創建了中華公所華僑學校畢業鼓勵金(Fortune Graduation Fund) 。
該鼓勵金的設置也使華僑學校成為全美3百多所具規模的中文學校中，唯一頒贈畢業獎勵金的學校；因此也成為華僑學校的優勢之一。該基金為僑校每位初中及高中生分別提供300元、1000元獎勵金。2019年獎勵金發放對象擴及小學生，每名100元。自2018年迄今，已嘉惠數百名畢業學子。
作為一名教育事業的堅定支持者，黃青新除每年捐款僑校畢業獎勵金五萬元及平時捐資僑校校務運作基金外，並於2017年始資助成立大紐約華人教育基金會「雲吞食品成就獎學金」，每年捐贈12萬元嘉惠獎勵全美亞洲餐飲行業家庭子女完成學業。在社區成為一位享譽美名的企業慈善家。紐約華僑學校校長王憲筠代表僑校全體師生感謝雲吞公司長期以來對僑校關愛。同時，也鼓勵社區學子，能夠珍惜中文教育學習的機會，未來學以致用，回饋社會。
On the 18th, Wonton Company donated another $50,000 to New York Chinese School to support its operations. The handover ceremony was attended by Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association Chairman Tony Chuy, New York Chinese School Principal Wang, and CCBA and New York Chinese School consultant Eric Ng.
Eric Ng introduced that he has known Ching Sun Wong for decades. As Wonton Food Company continued to develop, Ching Sun Wong and Eric Ng decided to establish a graduation scholarship project, funded by the Wonton Company’s Ching Sun Cultural and Arts Foundation. This scholarship is awarded annually to graduates who are interested in continuing their Chinese studies. In 2018, Ching Sun Wong and Chairman of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, Eric Ng, officially established the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association New York Chinese School Graduation Encouragement Fund (Fortune Graduation Fund).
This fund has made New York Chinese School the only Chinese school among over 300 large Chinese schools in the United States to award graduation scholarships, thus becoming one of the school’s strengths. The fund provides $300 and $1,000 scholarships to each middle and high school student, respectively. In 2019, the scholarship was extended to elementary students, each receiving $100. Since 2018, hundreds of graduating students have benefited from this fund.
As a staunch supporter of education, Ching Sun Wong not only donates $50,000 annually to the school's graduation scholarship fund and contributes to the school's operations fund but also sponsored the establishment of the Greater New York Chinese Education Foundation’s "Wonton Food Achievement Scholarship" in 2017. He donates $120,000 annually to support children from Asian families in the restaurant industry across the United States to complete their education, earning him a reputation as a philanthropic entrepreneur in the community. On behalf of all the teachers and students of the New York Chinese School, Principal Wang expressed gratitude for Wonton Food Company’s long time support. She also encouraged community students to cherish the opportunity to learn Chinese, apply their knowledge in the future, and in the future give back to society.

世界日報: 雲吞食品公司向華僑學校捐款5萬元
Wonton Foods Donates $50,000 to Chinese School to Encourage Learning Chinese
雲吞食品公司22日在紐約曼哈頓華埠中華公所向紐約華僑學校捐贈5萬元，以鼓勵華社學子繼續學習中文及中華文化，並支持僑校的日常運作，為社區培養下一代華裔人才。
雲吞食品公司董事李可星與副總裁黃本立、中華公所主席朱超然、美東聯成公所主席梁漢本、紐約台山寧陽會館主席伍健平、紐約華僑學校校長王憲筠及多位僑領出席。
據悉，此筆捐款將進入由中華公所設立的「畢業鼓勵基金」（Fortune Graduation Fund），每年向華僑學校的小學、初中和高中畢業生發放從百元到千元不等的獎學金以資鼓勵，旨在鼓勵更多華裔學子學習中文並傳承中華文化，並在學成後回饋社區。
王憲筠表示，捐款對於僑校來說是很大的助益，非常感謝雲吞食品公司持續定期的捐款，幫助僑校能夠永續經營下去，也希望更多華社學子學成後能夠利用雙語優勢在社會上取得成功。
On the 18th, Wonton Foods donated $50,000 to the New York Chinese School through the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, with the goal of encouraging Chinese-American students to continue learning Chinese as well as Chinese cultures. The donation will also support the school's daily operations.
This year marks the seventh year Wonton Foods has donated to the Chinese School, with only a pause in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This donation will go into the "Fortune Graduation Fund" established by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. The fund aims to encourage more Chinese-American students to learn Chinese and pass on the culture, providing scholarships ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars annually to elementary, middle, and high school graduates.
Lee Ho Sing, a Board member at Wonton Foods, stated that it has become a tradition to donate to the Chinese School annually. Encouraging Chinese-American children to learn Chinese is of great significance. Last year, in addition to rewarding students, some teachers were also rewarded. He hopes the donations can continue.
Eric Ng, an advisor and former chairman of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, said he has known Lee Ho Sing for 48 years due to business interactions and they became friends. Over the years, they have been thinking about how to better help the Chinese community. In 2017, they decided to establish the encouragement fund and later included elementary students in the award scope. Although donations paused for a year during the initial pandemic period, their original intention to help the next generation has never changed. Those attending the donation ceremony included the chairman of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, Tony Chuy, the chairman of the Lin Sing Association, Hanben Liang, and the chairman of the New York Hoy Sun Ning Yung Benevolent Association, Kenny Ng.
Principal Jennifer Wang of the Chinese School stated that Wonton Foods' donation is of great significance to the school's sustainable operation. Currently, many Chinese-American students' first language is English, and many give up learning Chinese. This fund can attract them to learn Chinese and greatly benefits low-income families. "For Chinese people striving in mainstream society, knowing Chinese is a major advantage."
The Chinese School, registered as a charter school in 1962, offers after-school classes and weekend Mandarin and Cantonese classes for students and adults, as well as math preparatory classes, SAT prep classes, painting classes, programming classes, kung fu classes, and more. Currently, the school has about 400 students.
