Preserve Chamorro Culture via CCF: Fueling the Diaspora's Heartbeat

The Chamorro Cultural Festival (CCF) is the premier event preserving and promoting the unique language, arts, and traditions of the Marianas diaspora on the U.S. mainland. Our annual gathering—represented by this stunning image of dancers sharing our ancient heritage—is more than a festival; it is a vital platform for education, community, and identity for thousands of Chamorros living far from home.

CHE’LU (Chamorro Hands in Education Links Unity) is a volunteer-run nonprofit. Every donation to this campaign directly funds the resources necessary to make the CCF a success, ensuring our culture endures for the next generation. Your support covers essential costs, hosting educational workshops, providing a space for Chamorro language immersion, and maintaining a free, public celebration of our heritage.

Join us in fueling the heartbeat of the diaspora! Your contribution preserves the songs, the movements, and the profound connection to the land and sea that define the Chamorro spirit.

Si Yu'us Ma'åse for supporting our mission.
