Kamayan Dinner Fundraiser

In support of KUBO Organizing Project's fundraising efforts in Long Beach Gives, the Long Beach Chapter of Filipina on the Rise (FOTR) is hosting a Kamayan Fundraiser — a traditional Filipino dining celebration open to the community.

📅 Thursday, September 17 at 6:30 PM 

📍 Location: KUBO Long Beach (3976 Atlantic Ave. Long Beach, CA 90807)

Our goal is to raise $1,000 for KUBO OP through this Kamayan. The Long Beach Chapter of FOTR is inviting the broader community to join us for a shared, hands-on Filipino feast!

To attend, kindly provide a suggested sliding-scale donation between $25–$45 per person.

About KUBO Organizing Project

KUBO Organizing Project is a Long Beach-based nonprofit rooted in the give-back, philanthropy spirit of collective entrepreneurs and organizers. Alongside our retail partner, KUBO Long Beach, we offer our community space in Bixby Knolls as a home for programming that helps Filipinos and Filipino Americans reconnect to their roots — reckoning with identity, culture, and the ways colonization and intergenerational trauma have shaped how we show up in the world.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that self-care is community care, and that healing happens in community. Your support helps power programs like the Long Beach Parol Lantern Festival (our flagship event), Restorative Yoga, Cultural Practitioner Spotlights, and other wellness events — all approached through a lens of community healing, not just cultural programming for its own sake.

Why support this fundraiser?

KUBO Long Beach has hosted FOTR's monthly meetings at zero cost since May 2025. This Kamayan is our chance to give back — supporting KUBO LB's nonprofit kapatid (sibling), KUBO Organizing Project, as it works to keep community healing spaces open and thriving in Long Beach.
