Last Sunday, PAMANA celebrated its annual appreciation dinner for our hardworking volunteers who made 2025 one of our most successful years in terms of programming and fundraising.

Hosted by the Board of Directors, the gathering included members of the PAMANA Carolers, the newly formed PAMANA Alab Dancers, and a number of "super volunteers" who always lend their time and effort to form the reliable backbone of our events.

The 2025 PAMANA Scholars (from left): Jeddahleen Abing, Christopher Teggatz, Brianna Norin, and Chloe Adalin.

We are now accepting applications for the 2026 PAMANA Scholarship Program. Documents must be mailed on or before April 15, 2026.

The program provides a one-time scholarship grant for dependents of PAMANA members to support their educational plans after high school.

Visit the PAMANA Scholarship page to read the eligibility guidelines and download the application form. The page also features our current and previous PAMANA scholars, and a brief history of the program written by Jun Gonzales on July 8, 2012.
