On July 21, 2024, the Chinese Biopharmaceutical Association-Greater Philadelphia (CBA-GP) hosted a vibrant summer barbecue at Norristown Farm Park. The event drew nearly 400 members and their families from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. It was a joyous gathering filled with delicious food, lively conversations, and engaging activities, highlighting the strong community spirit within CBA-GP.

 Participants enjoyed a wide variety of grilled delicacies prepared by dedicated volunteers, who worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had a great time. In addition to the food, the event featured interactive games and music performances that had everyone singing and dancing. The energy was infectious, with participants of all ages joining in the fun.

CBA-GP leaders, including Founding President Dr. Ling Yang, Current President Dr. Qing Liang, and President-elect Dr. Yue Zhu, shared updates on the association’s activities and future plans. The event also included a raffle with exciting prizes, adding to the festive atmosphere.

This annual barbecue not only provided a much-needed break from work but also offered a valuable opportunity for networking and camaraderie among members. The event was a testament to CBA-GP’s growing influence and the strong bonds within its community.

We thank all our volunteers, participants, and sponsors for making this event possible. We look forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming annual conference on September 14th at Villanova University!
