Kumusta po (Hello)! Warm greetings from the Filipino Friendship Society (FFS) of Bolingbrook! We are one of the few longest running non-profits, Filipino organization in the United States established on October 3rd, 1975, by our founder and first president, Nick Palmaira. Our purpose is to preserve our culture and to be an active part of our community. We are proud and fortunate to continue this organization's legacy with the next generation of our founding and long-standing members. Since our wonderful revitalization efforts in 2024, and with the amazing next generation now on board, we have celebrated significant milestones. Following our 49th anniversary Induction Ball, we are proud to have commemorated our 50th anniversary! We are now preparing for the return of one of our most celebrated and memorable events, our 13th Debut and Cotillion, on September 5th at the Hyatt Regency in Lisle. In fact, you have an opportunity to pre-purchase our souvenir program book before the event. Otherwise, we unfortunately, will not have any extras available to be sold at a later time. Additionally, FFS has been focusing on academic scholarships and bringing the community together to learn and love the Filipino culture. Your donation will help provide more scholarship opportunities to high school students; create opportunities for the Filipino community to come together; and to support community events. Your donation will make an impact on the generations of Filipino American community. Please consider donating today! Your monetary contributions are greatly appreciated.
