The Lucy and Joseph Cho Foundation Held
 2008 Scholarship Award Ceremony

On September 13, 2008, the Lucy and Joseph Cho Foundation held its annual Scholarship Award Ceremony in which scholarships were awarded to 13 high school and college students. At the Ceremony, which was held at the Foundation office located at 18021 Norwalk Blvd. #213 Artesia, scholarship recipients also received certificates of recognition from Congresswoman Linda Sanchez, State Controller John Chiang, State Senator Alan Lowenthal, Assembly member Tony Mendoza, Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, ABC Unified School District President Mark Pulido and Cerritos College President Bill Farmer

After congratulating all award recipients for their dedication, hard work, and academic and life achievements, Councilmember Joseph Cho, Co-Chair of the Foundation, said “When I look back on my life, I am always excited to recall the many gracious people who have helped me along the way up to tonight. I am full of gratitude, and because I do not know the proper words to express my heartfelt thanks to those who have helped me, the only thing I can do is to give back to the next generation. This is why my wife, Lucy, and I decided to set up our family’s non-profit organization, the Lucy and Joseph Cho Foundation. I believe that those who have helped me would fully support our decision. The small tokens of support awarded tonight will hopefully lead the recipients to do special and great things. I hope that someday the students here tonight will remember this evening and give back to the generation after them.”

The 2008 Scholarship Recipients are: College students: Eun Kyung Choi, Timothy Ho, Kevin King, Dimple Shah, Monirath Siv, Green Son, and Tiffany Woolfolk. High School students: Nahel Kapadia, Wendy Ku, Andrew Liang, Valerie Liang, Frankie Wong, and Brandon Yi

The Lucy and Joseph Cho Foundation

The Lucy and Joseph Cho Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Lucy and Joseph Cho in 2004. The Chos immigrated to the United States in 1974 and have lived in Cerritos for over thirty years. In establishing the Foundation, their desire is to give back to the community which has made it possible for them to fulfill their dreams and aspirations. Their three children, Andy, Tony and Jia, were raised and schooled in Cerritos public schools, attended college at University of California campuses, and have obtained a degree of Juris Doctor. In addition, the Chos have experienced firsthand that an act of kindness often is eclipsed by the positive impact it achieves. Firm believers in the power of beneficence, the Chos wish to help others the same way they were aided in their time of need.

The Foundation grants scholarships to high school and college students. The Chos hope to assist in opening up avenues of educational opportunity for eligible students, and thereby improve their future. The Chos are committed to education and public service.
