The mission of the organization and its members is to enchance the quality of life for the Asian-American community. United East Athletics Association was established in 1976 as a non-profit, self-funded organization by a handful of sports enthusiasts. It's initial goal was to offer recent immigrant youths and youths from the Chinatown area with constructive sports programs whereby they can develop physically and mentally as well as help them integrate into mainstream America. As the organization grew, UEAA was recognized as a solid component of the Chinese community in addressing the developmental needs of our young people. With the support of the community, UEAA expanded from offering strictly sports oriented programs to include community services and activities, such as summer youth recreational/educational programs and host cultural events around the Chinese traditions and arts. Today, UEAA is a registered 501 (c) non-profit organization recognized for its strong community outreach and large volunteer and member base.
