When Woo's Foundation donated $25,000/yr for 5 yrs or $125,000 in lump sum
to SELF, Self Empowerment Long-term Fund, it had committed 1/3 of its entire
assets to SELF over 5 years. Woo's Foundation doesn't raise money. It is one of
those foundations that must annually give away at least 5 % of it total assets.
S.B. Woo has given 15 years of his life working 40 to 65 hours per week working on holidays/vacation time/weekends to fight for the rights of AsAms, without any compensation. In addition, he has donated 6 to 10% of his annual income to help
our community's causes. He also risked angering many of his political friends. From
day one of serving 80-20, he declared not to accept any federal government appointments or run for any offices.
Why Is He so Dumb?
It's because he doesn't believe in snickering at Asian Am. politicians, civil rights activists, and our rich and powerful who may not be helping our community. He believes that the best way to help ourselves is to do his own individual best to fight for our rights. Many have joined our cause, but we need more support from
our community. Others on 80-20's Boards have
sacrificed even more than him.
