The New York Chinese Freemasons Athletic Club (CFMAC), Hung Ching, is a not-for-profit organization (501C3) that has been a staple in the Chinatown community since 1956. Members of the Chinese Freemasons saw a need to create a recreational center for the youth of Chinatown to congregate, learn and eventually pass on our traditional heritage. They felt that if a place were to be provided for them, it would be a great alternative to the streets or homes where there is little or no adult supervision. Thus they founded a youth club which has now developed into the NY CFMAC.
