The Philippine Development Foundation (PhilDev USA) announces that its Annual Gala and Awards Night will take place on 12 October 2024, at the Westin SFO in Millbrae, California. This event promises to be a memorable evening of celebration, entertainment, and a shared commitment to enable the success of Filipinos in science, technology, and entrepreneurship.
The Gala is PhilDev’s annual fundraiser, bringing together the Filipino American community to celebrate the achievements of our scholars and the accomplishments of our faculty, mentors and students in tech entrepreneurship.
The evening will be highlighted by the presentation of the PhilDev Awards, which recognizes Filipino Americans who have made significant contributions to their communities. Awardees exemplify the spirit of excellence, innovation, collaboration, and dedication to creating positive impact while keeping a connection to the Philippines.
In addition to the awards, the Gala presents a live auction of choice experiences and offerings. Guests will also be treated to an unforgettable entertainment lineup featuring rising R&B talent Zeyonce Brown and The Voice USA brother duo, Justin and Jeremy Garcia.
“PhilDev has always been about supporting the next generation of Filipino leaders in STEM education, innovation & entrepreneurship.
