Our Annual Fundraising Appeal • Padayon: Sailing to New Horizons

We humbly invite you to help launch CYFAM's journey to new horizons by donating to our Padayon fundraiser.

Since our founding, over 900 individuals participated in our events across the United States and worldwide; we held 40+ workshops; and fostered new relationships within our communities. In February 2024, we successfully held our annual conference fully in-person in Los Angeles. We have continued to explore and establish partnerships with organizations that address the unique challenges faced by the Filipino American community. This year, we are working with the National Council of Asian Pacific Islander Physicians (NCAPIP) to increase vaccine engagement. We have also hosted events for educating students, such as a virtual interview skills workshop to tell our stories better.

Your donation today will be used to help strengthen the networks that allow us to reach and mentor young Filipinx Americans in medicine, and will make a real impact in the lives of those we serve.

CYFAMilya is what
propels us forward.

At the core of CYFAM's endeavors is the profound Filipino concept of kapamilya, which symbolizes more than just family—it's a bond of unity, support, and unconditional love. This ethos inspires CYFAM to create a nurturing environment where every individual is valued, fostering a sense of belonging and empowering a community that extends its warmth and care beyond its immediate circle.
