Xiao was honored for her contributions to the Chinese community, and for serving as an essential bridge between groups on behalf of the Chinese community by actively communicating with government officials.

Several dignitaries attended the festivities, including Lt. Gov. Cyrus Habib and Washington Secretary of State Kim Wyman. The event raised $6,050 for Seattle Children’s Hospital.
