AACO Cincinnati was deeply honored to be selected as the 2024 grant recipient by Duke Energy, in recognition of our impactful community outreach and dedicated service.

As part of their AIN initiative, Duke Energy chose 1,000 Cranes as the theme for this grant. Their team hand-folded 1,000 origami cranes as a heartfelt gesture of best wishes—an incredibly thoughtful effort that took several months to complete.

Hao Cong, AACO founding board member and president of Cincinnati operations, accepted the grant and delivered a presentation on behalf of the organization.
