SKAC Foundation

  • Mission
    The Mission of The Shui Kuen and Allen Chin Foundation ("The SKAC Foundation") is to honor the values of restaurant owners Shui Kuen and Allen Chin through supporting the educational aspirations of children of workers in the Asian/Pacific Islander food service industry in the United States of America.
  • History/genesis
    The selfless commitment and hard work of Shui Kuen and Allen Chin, co-owners and operators of Chung's, a well-known Chinese restaurant in the greater Detroit area, allowed their six children to successfully complete post-secondary education and pursue a diverse range of career paths. With pride, the Chins regularly shared news of their children's latest accomplishments with long-time and new restaurant customers alike. On October 11, 2005, Allen Chin lost his life on his way to the restaurant. Shui Kuen Chin survived the car accident and provided encouragement to her children as they sought to turn the family tragedy into something positive. The result is The Shui Kuen and Allen Chin Foundation.
  • Supporting educational aspirations
    The Chin children have decided that The SKAC Foundation's support of educational aspirations will take the form of an annual scholarship award program to be known as The SKAC Scholarship. Subject to change, two (2) annual scholarships of $1,000 will be made.

email list

Sorry for a bit of testing going on this morning. I've worked through it though and want to announce a small change...

The email list managed by FeedBlitz (at your right), will no longer send you all posts from the blog. It will only send you posts that have a category of "SKAC Scholarship." This way if you're looking for updates about the scholarship itself, we can keep you posted as the application and award schedule gets underway.

However, if you've already subscribed with the form, then you're subscribed for all posts and will get the scholarship news as well as our occasional family posts, housekeeping, etc... We promise not to flood you, but if you'd like you or I can unsubscribe you from that list (just let me know, in the comments) and then you can re-subscribe to the new list if you like.

For those with a bit of technical acumen, and/or who are using feed aggregators, these are the feed URLs:
