Since its establishment, the Chinese Chamber has been a leading advocate for socioeconomic progress and civic interests in San Francisco. Additionally, the Chinese Chamber is the guardian of many of San Francisco’s most prominent public events, including the Chinese New Year Parade, Flower Market Fair, Miss Chinatown Pageant, Coronation Ball, Basketball Jamboree, Community Street Fair, Choy Sun Doe, and the Chinatown YMCA Run. The Chinese Chamber regularly sponsors and collaborates with other nonprofits and community organizations to deliver services to the small businesses and residents of Chinatown.
