2023 YEAR OF THE RABBIT

Lunar New Year is one of the most important celebrations of the year among East and Southeast Asian cultures, including Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean communities, among others.

The New Year celebration is usually celebrated for multiple days—not just one day as in the Gregorian calendar’s New Year. In 2023, Lunar New Year begins on January 22. 2023 is a year of the Water Rabbit, starting from January 22, 2023 (Chinese New Year), and ending on February 9, 2024 (Chinese New Year’s Eve).

The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope. People born in a year of the Rabbit are called “Rabbits” and are believed to be vigilant, witty, quick-minded, and ingenious.

ABOUT NATHAN YIP FOUNDATION

The Nathan Yip Foundation is named after the son of the founders Linda and Jimmy Yip. The Yips lost their only son Nathan in a car accident in 2002. The Yips, with a team of volunteers and friends work tirelessly, through the foundation, to provide educational access, empowerment and ongoing support to K-12 educational projects in rural Colorado communities. The organization’s handson approach calls on educators to determine their area of greatest need and how they’d like to receive support.

The Nathan Yip Foundation then consults with partner schools and matches donor funds with these highly impactful projects, providing access to educational materials and support. By empowering educators, the foundation seeks to make a sustainable impact in a truly grassroots way. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, all funds are raised through public solicitation and then granted to projects selected by our diverse committee and Board of Directors.
