On September 8th, Mr. Willis restaurant and You Dao will host the 9th Mr. Willis Dinner.

During the dinner, Dr. Warren Kinne, a co-founder of You Dao, thanked the dinner guests for attending and their continued support. You Dao Foundation’s treasurer, Leonard Pratt, a 2014 Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award winner, also spoke about You Dao’s recent operation and activities.

The dinner also had a special musical performance from Australia singer Caitlin Reilly. Dr. Kinne also said a special thank you to Craig Willis, the founder of Mr. Willis restaurant. He said that without Craig’s great help and support You Dao would not have been able to achieve such success. Over the past few years, You Dao has provided around 255 scholarships to migrant children per year. Altogether over a 1,000 migrant children have benefited from these educational scholarships. Mr. Willis restaurant hosts two charity dinners a year for You Dao and donates all of the revenue to the charity. Craig also said a special thank you to his staff, who all generously volunteer their time for the event.

The 9th Mr. Willis Dinner was very successful. You Dao received funding for 10 new scholarships and many attendees expressed great interest in volunteering with the charity.

You Dao is very thankful for all of the support and hopes it can continue to grow and give back to migrant workers who are in need of assistance. You Dao hopes more and more migrant children can sense the love and support from the community and can learn to grow up and become confident, caring, and responsible members of this community.
