50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
​

Join COPAO’s 50th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, September 10, 2022, 5:00PM – 10:00PM, at the beautiful Sycuan Casino Resort. The event will recognize past presidents, board members, organizational members, former queens, princesses, scholarship awardees, and community members (all of you!) in celebration of five decades in service to our Filipino community in San Diego. You’ll be serenaded with champagne and rondalla during the reception, reminisce with old friends, mingle with new colleagues, enjoy a Filipino inspired program of entertainment, dance, and food, and more importantly, celebrate our accomplishments.
 
Come celebrate our Bayanihan Spirit!
