LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Asian Hall of Fame activates its Crisis Relief Fund and hosts a Mother's Day Charity Concert to ship relief packages to Ukraine women and children refugees. Packages will deliver supplies most requested by refugee centers including blankets, socks, diapers, baby wipes, sanitary napkins and dry food.  The first concert shipped 28,500 medical supplies during the pandemic.

The red carpet event, ten-course lunch and world-class concert featuring keyboardist Ed Roth & Friends begin at 12:00 p.m. PST on Thursday, May 5 at the popular foreign press location, 888 Seafood Restaurant.

"Asian Hall of Fame's community of inductees, influencers and artists is horrified by the unjust violence against Ukraine and humanity. Our Crisis Relief Fund joins the global humanitarian effort to provide women and children with the most requested items that refugee centers need now," said CEO and President Maki Hsieh.

Keyboardist to nine Grammy Award-winners, Ed Roth leads bands as musical director and has performed, produced and collaborated with icons such as Joe Walsh of The Eagles, pop star Annie Lennox, rock legends Robby Krieger and Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith.
