Katipunan FIHSes for a Cause
Our hearts go out to those who were affected by the Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines of the regions of Visayas and Leyte. Let's continue to pray for them. ON November 20, 2013, FIHS collaborated with fellow cultural organization Katipunan to host a special benefit event where we had an amazing lineup of talented musicians perform, a very special participation of our very own Chancellor Kim Wilcox, and a service auction where the board members of FIHS and Katipunan raised funds through providing a special kind of service for those with the highest bid. All proceeds and donations from the auction and other funds will go to NAFCON (National Alliance of Filipino Concerns) and they will send it to BALSA (Bayanihan Alay sa Sambayanan) in the Philippines. Thank you to those who donated money, clothing, canned food, blankets, etc (which we will put all of these donations in a Balikbayan box) to send to the Philippines. After our event, we were able to raise more than $1,044! We would like to thank Katipunan for all their hard work to make this event happen, to our UCR student and faculty supporters, our friends and family, and donators from various organizations and establishments.
