艱辛移民路 成功後回饋華裔社區
余江銘熱愛LunarNYC籃球項目，是因為他自幼喜愛籃球，是學校籃球隊的成員，然而在他小時候由於家庭條件不好，他無法參加花費昂貴的全國錦標賽，他如今成為華爾街成功企業家，希望可以回饋，希望幫助到跟他當年一樣的孩子們圓夢。
余江銘於1980年出生在台山農村，2歲的時候跟隨父母、兩個姐姐來到美國。一家人居住在上西城一處簡陋的公寓內，包括他的祖母以及後來出生的弟弟，一家七口人擠在一個三房一廳的分割公寓內（tenement building）。父親是木工，母親是衣廠的縫紉女工，在他3、4歲的時候，由於家庭無法負擔看護，他的母親就帶著她去衣廠上班。與其他女工的孩子們一起，被媽媽們放在衣廠的巨大紙箱內，小孩們在那裏玩耍，這也是余江銘稱自己為“衣廠子弟（sweatshop baby）”的原因。
余江銘從14歲開始在校園參加了學生工作實習項目，可以在學校幫助老師做些工作，賺取一些零花錢緩解家庭的困難，自那時起就沒有停止工作，每年暑假都參加實習項目，16歲的時候在一家法國餐館打工直到18歲，他回憶到，因為我的個子很高，別人都以為我20歲，所以才允許我工作。
19歲時，余江銘同時兼職三份工作，兩年後進入曼哈頓社區大學（BMCC）全職讀書，並且有一份全職工作。後來余江銘在紐約市立大學、哥倫比亞大學完成學業，一路艱辛走來，余江銘在華爾街投資銀行找到一份工作，自此進入金融界，如今已經創辦自己的公司Financial Ventures Group，成為百萬富翁。
非盈利機構LunarNYC
余江銘成立LunarNYC的初衷是支持亞裔的文化，他在默默進行著推廣工作，他的計劃是將農曆新年遊行搬到曼哈頓第五大道這個國際大舞台上。他表示，在紐約的亞裔有130萬，我們的力量是很強大的，但是我們的聲音很小，農曆年是人類歷史上最盛大、最久遠的節慶之一，我們應該把它組織起來，像Macy’s的遊行一樣，成為一個讓全世界了解中國文化的機會。諮詢可致信info@LunarNYC.org。
