ASIAN EATS ATX
Asian Eats ATX is the innovative flagship event of the GAACC Foundation. The inaugural edition of the event was held on September 7th, 2024, the second Asian Eats ATX occurred on April 19th, 2025, and the third iteration scheduled for April 25th, 2026.
Hundreds of foodies gather at participating restaurant locations across the Greater Austin area to enjoy fantastic, Asian-inspired meals hosted by restauranteurs and private chefs, all to support a great local cause. After dinner, we party at Asian Eats After Dark.

Funds raised during Asian Eats ATX and Asian Eats After Dark are distributed to thet year's Charity of Choice - a local Asian-oriented organization selected for its impact on Greater Austin's Asian communities.
The 2024 Asian Eats ATX Charity of Choice was the Austin Asian Community Health Initiative (AACHI). In 2025, the Charity of Choice was Asian Texans for Justice.
The 2026 Asian Eats ATX Charity Focus is the GAACC Foundation's women's financial literacy initiative!
In 2026, the GAACC Foundation will launch an all-new program to support women’s financial literacy, empowering women to build financial independence and achieve their goals from personal finance to entrepreneurship and business ownership.
We know that financial literacy = confidence, control, and choice. When women are financially empowered, they don’t just change their lives. They transform communities and generations.
Funds raised during Asian Eats ATX and Asian Eats After Dark will support the establishment of this crucial and exciting initiative!
