Our 5th Annual Red String Get Together and Online Auction was filled with sunshine, good food, and the kind of generosity that reminds us why community matters. With your support, we raised over $27,000 for our Grants Program, helping local charities in the communities we call home. Thank you to every attendee, donor, bidder, volunteer, and local business for making this event so meaningful. We are truly grateful. 🥰

🎉 Happy Lunar New Year! 🎊 🎇

2026 is recognized in the Chinese zodiac as the Year of the Fire Horse. This designation comes from the traditional sexagenary cycle, which combines the 12 zodiac animals with the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—forming a 60-year cycle. While Horse years occur every 12 years, a Fire Horse year appears only once every 60 years.

The Lunar New Year in 2026 begins on February 17 and ends on February 5, 2027. The previous Fire Horse year was 1966, and the next will occur in 2086.

The Chinese zodiac system cycles through animals and elements simultaneously, which is why each animal-element pairing repeats every 60 years. Fire Horse years are traditionally associated with heightened energy compared to other Horse years due to the influence of the Fire element.

Explore our newest blog post to uncover what the Year of the Fire Horse may bring in 2026.

🎷 🎶 Bridging Generations Through the Joy of Jazz 🎹 🎸

Toes were tapping, people were dancing, and the room was alive with the joy and rhythm of music at the Long Beach Senior Center auditorium. Over 80 people of all ages attended the event and were treated to the music of Jazz Angels' young musicians playing classics like Kenny Burrell’s 1963 Chitlins con Carne, Duke Ellington’s 1942 C-Jam Blues, and War’s 1975 Low Rider.

Red String Foundation Collaboration Grant Project with Long Beach's The Heart Of Ida, Jazz Angels, and the City of Long Beach proudly presents the 2025 Intergenerational Mixer Summer Concert Series—a celebration of connection across generations through the power of music.

The talented young musicians of Jazz Angels dedicated themselves to six practice sessions in preparation for this special event.

Meanwhile, the staff of Heart of Ida, in partnership with the City of Long Beach, thoughtfully designed and coordinated the gathering.

We are proud to be a sponsor of this wonderful event and recognition, and even more so, we are grateful to have the opportunity to give this award in memory of Margaret "Dodie" Bushee (October 10, 1940 - January 4, 2024), a lifelong educator, community leader, and Red String supporter.

On February 22, we honor and pay tribute to Jeff Adachi on this sixth anniversary since his sudden and unexpected passing in 2019. Red String's Jeff Adachi Legacy Project, established in 2020, aims to pay homage to Jeff's legacy, drawing inspiration from his own words and experiences, and fueled by his fervent desire to make a meaningful impact on as many lives as possible.

Since its inception, the JALP has distributed over $60K in grants to charities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Outside of the JALP, the foundation has distributed over $210K in grants to charities within California and Washington working with at-risk youth to improve educational and life outcomes, assisting low-income families become more self-sufficient, and caring for home-bound elderly persons.

But creating a lasting legacy has been a real challenge. We had big hopes the JALP could be a catalyst to leverage the community’s support for Jeff to carry forward his ideals, and in the process, create a movement. We have yet to create the buzz we had originally hoped for, but remain confident that in time, we will be able to do just that.

February 22 will mark the sixth year since my brother, Jeff, suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, and the fifth year since starting our Jeff Adachi Legacy Project (JALP). The JALP was established to honor and pay tribute to Jeff's lifelong fight for a more just, equal, and compassionate society by...
