2025 CFHC Annual Luncheon
Please join us in Honoring & Recognizing our Community's Philanthropy and Resilience.
CFHC’S Annual Luncheon, is scheduled for November 5, 2025, at Blue Ridge Conference Hall.
We’re honored to welcome Leah Wong Ashburn, President and CEO of Highland Brewing Company, as our keynote speaker for this year’s Annual Luncheon.
A second-generation family owner, Leah continues the legacy of her father, Oscar Wong, who founded Asheville’s first legal brewery since Prohibition. Under her leadership, Highland has become North Carolina’s largest independent brewery and one of the nation’s top women-led breweries.
Named Woman Executive of the Year and a James Beard Award semi-finalist, Leah embodies resilience, purpose, and community spirit. She’ll share her inspiring perspective on resilience and bridging generosity and impact: values that guide both her leadership and Highland’s ongoing commitment to the community.
