May 31, 2007
MELVILLE, New York – This year, the "Rotary Gift of Life International Humanitarian Award" went to Tai Wang, the co-principal and co-founder of W.A.C. Lighting Company.
The award was presented to Wang at the Melville Long Island Marriott Hotel on April 28th. The annual award is given to those who have given exceptional "service above self" to children around the world. Some of the previous honorees have included Nancy Reagan, Jerry Lewis and Sally Struthers.
Wang came to the United States with her husband about 25 years ago and soon after, established W.A.C. Lighting. A few years ago, Wang began working with Anita Stangl of "Alliance for Smiles," and has since been making expeditions to China to help children born with cleft lips and palates. She also founded the Hope School at Ziang-Xi and the W.A.C. Scholarship program in China.
Since its humble beginnings in 1984 as a supplement to their supermarket in Queens, W.A.C. Lighting has become a leading manufacturer and designer of track, recessed, monorail, decorative and under-cabinet lighting.
