PERFORMERS
Chyi Yu is a celebrated Taiwanese recording artist and performer recognized for her ethereal voice and soulful delivery. Having made her debut with her solo album & title song “The Olive Tree” in 1979, she has since recorded and released seven albums both in Chinese and in English. In 2018, she started a concert tour, “The Echo” (1985), featuring popular songwriter San Mao. This year, Yu joined the ensemble cast of “Ge Shou: Singer 2019,” a singing competition, and established the Chyi Yu Public Charity Fund with Mango V Foundation of the Hunan Satellite TV. In recent years, she has sung both Buddhist songs and gospel, hoping that her music can help break down barriers and that we can all live in peace without prejudice.
Michelle Pan’s deep and magnetic voice and penetrating vocal range have left an indelible mark on Chinese pop music. Her more than 40-year career in the Chinese music scene has earned her the title of “Legendary Queen of Songs.” As the first singer signed by Rock Records, she has been honed and enriched by ace producers such as Ta-yu Lo, Jonathan Lee, and J. Bug. Her influence is further underscored by her numerous pop music awards, including the Golden Melody Awards, the Golden Noise Award, and the Golden Tripod Awards. Her seven albums have been selected as the top of the 200 Best Taiwanese Pop Albums, and she was honored with the Special Contribution to Chinese Music in the Fifth Chinese Music Media Awards by Southern Metropolis Daily.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
Disaster Relief
Our disaster relief offers comfort and care from the heart, swiftly and with love while providing direct financial relief. Tzu Chi volunteers are here for you for the long haul, striving to be among the first to arrive and the last to leave when lives are turned upside down by tragedy.
Aiding Families Across the U.S.
To help ensure struggling households have the support they need to thrive, Tzu Chi volunteers distribute fresh groceries, hot meals, school supplies, and more. Furthermore, unique programs and initiatives, like Happy Campus, allow us to work closely with public schools across California, aiding and inspiring students while creating a harmonious environment for all to share.
Medical Outreach
Supporting good health for all is one of our core missions. We help families and communities access the care they need for free or at a minimal cost.
Community medical outreach events served by volunteer doctors and professionals affiliated with TIMA (Tzu Chi International Medical Association) aid low-income, uninsured, or underinsured patients and those who lack access to ongoing medical care, providing vision, dental, and more services with love and dedication, because every patient counts.
