Description: Alfred “Boogie” Chin is a talented high school basketball player from Queens, New York, who dreams of playing in the NBA. His parents, however, have a different plan for him: they want him to focus on getting a scholarship to an elite college instead. While already burdened with high expectations, he finds himself struggling more as he tries to navigate high school, a new girlfriend, and fierce on-court rivals. 

AAPI Heritage Month 518 is an all-volunteer, Asian-led initiative which both brings together and celebrates the Asian American community in the Capital Region. Launched in 2024, AAPI Heritage Month 518 seeks to build community, understanding, and inclusion through various events held throughout the month of May.
