“赠人玫瑰，手有余香”，捐赠不但能帮助他人，还能提升自己，尽我们所能去帮助那些有困难、有需求的人，哪怕只是一点点奉献，也有可能发挥很大的作用。CYOC每年的捐赠活动给予了大家一个帮助他人的机会，让我们的爱心通过捐赠传达出去。
7月29日，一年一度的CYOC捐赠日在大家的期盼中到来。小义工们和大义工们都热情高涨，早早地来到捐赠现场布置。大家为本次募捐活动准备了水、椅子和帐篷。有设计绘画天赋的义工还手绘了精美的指路牌，各尽所能为活动做贡献。大小义工们齐心协力地布置场地，很快帐篷搭起来了。接着大家挂上CYOC的旗子，摆好捐赠的表格、纸和笔，很快一切准备就绪。白底红字的CYOC旗帜在蔚蓝的天空下迎风飘扬，吸引着前来捐赠的好心人，捐赠活动开始了。

My name is Jaylynne Yang, and I’m a high school student who participated in the parade at Washington DC with the organization CYOC. First off, I had a very fun time participating in the march with other CYOC members. The staff were very caring and prepared, as they made sure we were hydrated and provided water, food, and a good spirit. It was also very organized and lively, and this experience was very fun because of the hard work that the parents put in. Many thanks to the adults and parents that kept everything organized, sprayed water on everyone to cool us down, and carried food, water, and other materials.

On July 4, 2023, CYOC (Capital Youth Outreach Club) participated in the National Independence Day Parade in the District of Columbia to recognise the birthday of our wonderful nation, the USA. In CYOC’s display, fifty people ranging from ages seven to over fifty-five volunteered to hold a larger-than-life American flag. They marched one mile at Constitution Avenue from 7th to 17th Street in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators both at the venue and online. The display was directed by Ping Lu and led by George Xie.

Participating in the July 4th parade was quite an experience. Upon arriving at the gathering point, we received our flags and our shirts. Let me just say, the shirts were about 4 sizes too big. Nevertheless, we began to carry the flag to Constitution Avenue where the parade was being prepared. After we waited again for an hour, We began to hear drums and the parade started. We stood there yet again for a bit to watch the other people in the parade perform. It was really cool seeing all the bands and dancers who came from all over the country, even Hawaii, to perform at the parade. When it was our turn, I felt proud when people started cheering for us. Or maybe it was the people behind us. I don’t know, but either way I was proud. After the parade finished, we all sat down for a while to cool down and get hydrated .After the parade concluded, we took a much-needed break to cool down and rehydrate. The very hot weather prompted the fire department to set up a giant water fan that sprayed mist over a large area, so that was pretty cool. After a few sips of energy drinks and a picture of everyone who participated, me and my dad left for the Metro station.
Despite the fatigue caused by the sweltering heat and lengthy walk, I believe the experience was worth it. Participating in the July 4th parade left me with lasting memories and a sense of pride in celebrating this important occasion.
