As part of the NaFFAA NY Chapter executive team we are raising funds to attend the 16th National Empowerment Conference and Awards Gala in Aurora, Colorado. This landmark event, co-hosted by NaFFAA Rocky Mountain Region, will bring together Filipino American leaders from across the nation for two days of inspiration, empowerment, and community building. We are honored to be invited as conference speakers, where we will highlight how our NYS chapter secured historic capital funds from the federal government for a Filipino community center in Little Manila, Woodside, Queens. This achievement represents a significant milestone for our community, and sharing our story at the conference will help inspire others to pursue similar goals.

The funds raised will cover our conference fees, hotel accommodations, and roundtrip flights for two team members - Rachelle Ocampo & Leslie Flores. Attending the conference will allow us to connect with visionary leaders, participate in dynamic activities, and celebrate our heritage. Your support will help us represent New York, honor our history, and shape the future for Filipino Americans nationwide.

We invite our community and supporters to help us attend this historic event, celebrate our achievements, and continue building a brighter future for Filipino Americans. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and help us reach our goal. Your contribution ensures that our community remains represented in critical policy discussions and local initiatives. If we exceed our fundraising goal, any additional funds will help benefit NYS chapter programs, which directly funds our ongoing efforts to educate community members on their rights, facilitate leadership workshops for young professionals, and maintain our network of service providers. We invite you to join us in this investment to foster a more engaged and empowered community.
