Voices of Change, Building Bright Futures

Friday, May 9, 2025 | 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm PT

Hoku Events | 1125 SE Madison St, Portland, OR 97214

Celebrated every year in May, Voices of Change is APANO's annual fundraiser to sustain our organization to continue advocating for and lifting up the change-making leaders in our communities. As a culturally specific organization serving one of the state’s fastest-growing demographics, APANO is deeply committed to fostering equity and providing critical resources to under-resourced populations, particularly youth, elders, and those with limited English proficiency.

However, we can't do this alone! Proceeds from this event will directly benefit programs that serve communities in our focus areas—Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties—and in neighborhoods like Southeast Portland’s Jade District, home to over 140 languages and a majority Asian and Asian American population.
