This year, we wanted to center our gathering around a feeling that many of us associate deeply with Taiwanese culture: 人情味 / Lîn-tsîng-bī.

What is Lîn-tsîng-bī? It’s a beautiful concept that’s a bit hard to translate directly, but it speaks to the inherent warmth found in human relationships, a genuine spirit of human kindness and connection. We chose this theme because we wanted to capture and celebrate that distinct emotional warmness often felt within communities in Taiwan. Artwork by @skyelarrrrrrrrr

TANG’s theme this year is the phrase, “chia̍h-pá-buē”. In Taiwanese culture, the phrase “”did you eat yet”, holds significant cultural and social importance. It’s not merely a question about one’s meal, it serves multiple functions deeply ingrained in Taiwan culture.

Beyond the literal meaning, the phrase carries emotional weight. It signifies care, love, connection, and a sense of belonging within the community. The phrase conveys a sense of intimacy and solidarity particularly among family members and close friends.

This year we’re asking chia̍h-pá-buē? and inviting participants to share stories of their families and chosen families. We hope to show all participants this powerful and unique way of expressing love in the Taiwanese community. Artwork by @skyelarrrrrrrrr #tang2024

SWAG ALERT AND FUNDRAISER UPDATE!

We have already raised over $3,000 of our 20k goal for this year’s TANG Conference. This money will help keep registration costs low and cover costs for our amazing, hard-working volunteers. Thank you to our donors!

Keep in mind, that I will be matching up to $10,000 in donations. Yes, you heard right! Please, donate if you are able to. I want to match your donation! My Chicago Half Marathon race is Sunday! So you still have time to donate. TANG and I appreciate your support.

As if that’s not enough, I’m excited to FINALLY announce we have two donation incentives for this year’s TANG 2022 conference.

One-of-a-kind TANG Performance Wear Raffle

I designed and customized a running singlet for my Chicago Half Marathon event. #RunTANGProud.

This blue-light orange design will be available in Men’s and Women’s styling (i.e. T-Shirt, Tank Top, and Singlet). I just got it in and it’s high quality, sweat wicking material. Very comfortable. You can run a marathon in it. Or if that’s not your thing, go to the gym, yoga, etc.

We will be raffling a couple of these off. For every $100 you donate, you will automatically receive a raffle ticket. Once the fundraiser is over, I will conduct a randomized drawing and the winners will get to choose their shirt style and size. I will add one performance shirt for every $1,000 raised. Right now, we have 3 shirts as part of the raffle.

“in Bloom” Tote Bag

The second incentive was donated and only available while supplies last. It's an “in Bloom” textile tote bag made in Taiwan for those who donate $100. The first 30 (thirty) to donate will receive a tote bag. The textile designs are all inspired by Taiwan ecology.

Donate on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/donate/495193472301890/

Donate on Paypal:
https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/3522238

If you can’t donate, no worries. We hope to see you this summer.

TANG 2022. Get excited!
