 北加州華人文化體育協會（簡稱華體會）是北美最大的非營利華人體育文化組織，亦是一個非牟利的長期性的民間組織，沒有地域性、沒有政治色彩。我們是以團結北加州華人社區及凝聚華人社團為主要宗旨。通過舉辦與體育文化相關的活動，促進北加州華人之間的接觸與了解，活躍華人體育文化生活，發掘下一代體育文化人才，推動華人體育文化事業的發展。
北加州華人文化體育協會自2003年起連續第六年舉辦運動大會，2007年運動大會參賽團隊超過兩百個隊伍，競賽項目超過四百個，參加選手人數高達一萬多人次，親臨現場的觀眾超過三萬人次，創海外華人運動各項競賽之紀錄，現為港澳台及中國大陸地區之外華人最大之運動盛會。
今年北加州華人文化體育協會除籃、排、足、游泳、武術、乒乓球、羽毛球、網球、田徑賽等運動項目繼續比賽外，更訂於七月十九日二ＯＯ八年（星期六）晚上七時卅分假舊金山牛宮舉辦“唱響奧運 愛我中華”大型室內音樂會，與北京”奧運龍”活動相呼應。
這一齣聚集了兩岸三地頂極明星，奧運親善大使－費翔、奧運火炬手－桑蘭、獲2008年英國BBC國家廣播電台世界音樂大獎亞洲地區唯一提名－薩頂頂、澳門著名歌手及主持人亦為奧運志願者－黃偉麟、多項國家武術冠軍得主－吳越等。誠摯邀請灣區的朋友們踴躍組團購票參加共襄盛舉。當然更需要獲得灣區各公司團體一如既往的支持與贊助，使此次“唱響奧運 愛我中華”大型室內音樂會順利圓滿成功。希望透過此一音樂會，將我們海外華人思鄉之情、愛國之心推向最高峰，讓我們一起圓百年奧運。

The Northern California Chinese Culture-Athletes Federation is the largest
non-profit Chinese sports association in North America. It is a permanent,
non-partisan, geographical wide-ranging civic organization. Our aim is to
unite the Chinese community in Northern California, through the organization
and promotion of cultural and sports activities of Chinese residents in
Northern California. By establishing contacts and developing a better
understanding of Chinese sporting activities we hope to encourage the next
generation of Chinese sports talent and develop Chinese sports and cultural
undertakings.
Since 2003 NCCCAF has held six annual competitions. In 2007 the General
Assembly had entries from 200 teams competing in over 400 contests with more
than 10,000 participants and in excess of 30,000 people attending the
events. NCCCAF's annual competitions are now the most recognized sporting
events among overseas Chinese.
In 2008, in addition to holding competitions in basketball, soccer,
swimming, martial arts, table tennis, badminton, tennis, and track and field
events, NCCCAF will have a large-scale indoor concert at the San Francisco
Cow Palace on July 19, 2008 (Saturday) at 7:30 PM.
The concert will bring together Chinese star performers, athletes and
personalities from both sides of the Pacific. We sincerely invite friends
from throughout the Bay Area to enthusiastically participate in this event
and encourage Bay Area groups and companies to support and sponsor the event
and promote ticket sales so that the concert will be a rousing success.
