Friendship Games
Friendship Games is hosted every year by Cal State University Fullerton in October, and is a day event full of fun, games, and friendly competition. It is a day about Spirit, Pride, Unity, and Friendship between Pilipinx-American Organizations throughout California, and surrounding states (you don’t need to be Pilipinx to go though!). Out of all the events that Akbayan hosts, Friendship Games is one of the most memorable. Through the preparation of Friendship Games and the actual weekend of, you meet hundreds of people and develop lasting friendships. At times, friendships are even rekindled.
