Anita Fong, a longtime PAAWBAC Board member and Woman Warrior, passed away on December 5, 2016, after succumbing to a rare disease. As Anita was always a fighter, her death came as a shock to her family and friends, including the PAAWBAC community. We will always remember her as a dedicated Board Member and a fierce advocate for Asian Pacific Islander women, especially the younger women whom she enjoyed mentoring. In 2017, a special fund for mentees was established, in honor of Anita Fong.
