Our 50th Anniversary Gala is October 4, 2025!

This year 2025, the Filipino Friendship Society of Bolingbrook will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary with a Gala and Cotillion on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 6:30 pm to Midnight at the Crystal Grand Banquets.

We, the officers and members of the FFS would like to extend this invitation to all our Filipino-American friends, relatives, and extended families, as we honor those who have built the FFS through half a century, and we remember their hard work, support, and contributions to making this one of the longest running Filipino organizations in America.

And as part of our Filipino heritage and tradition, there will be a Cotillion. Debutantes 15 years or older are invited to participate.

More details are to be announced in upcoming posts.

To make this event even more memorable, we encourage the officers, members, and friends to share their Greetings, Memories, and Photos in our Commemorative Program Book, especially the families of our Founders and Past Presidents of the FFS.

So, Save the Date! Join us for our 50th Anniversary Celebration!
