P4 2nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Chuck Corica Golf Course in Alameda

On April 23, 2011, The Partnership for Pre-Professional Pilipinos (P4) held their SecondAnnual Charity Golf Tournament at Chuck Corica Golf Course in Alameda. All proceeds went towards Filipino Advocates for Justice (FAJ), a local organization established in 1973 aimed at promoting social justice and building a strong and empowered Filipino community. The event was a big success, with over fifty players participating in our event, including various Calstudents, Cal alumni, and professionals from around the Bay Area. Sponsors of the event included Cal students, Cal alumni, as well as businesses from all around the area. The Partners of P4 spent the en-tire year planning and organizing the event. In total, we made $3,200 for our beneficiary, FAJ. It served as a great way to get students and alumni together again for a friendly game of golf, while being able to serve our community and contribute to charity.

A Note from the Upcoming Executive Director:

I’m very excited to be P4’s Executive Director next year. Hopefully next year’s Partners and I will be able to expand upon all the great events that Diamond Edition Core held. This past year we celebrated P4’s 10th Anniversary. I re-ally hope that the Partners and I will start off P4’s second decade with a bang and set up the organization for further success in the future.

-Matthrw Galang

A Note from the Current Executive Director:

Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday that the other Partners and I came together for the first time looking forward to the year ahead. But I guess as they always say, all good things must come to an end. This year has been quite an experience and I am honored to have served as the Executive Director of such an esteemed organization. In addition to being a part of an organization celebrating its 10th anniversary I am also proud of what we have accomplished in so little time. From the business social, our 2nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament, legal clinics, law school visits, to the development of our As-sociates; this year has been a success. I have nothing but the utmost confidence in next year’s Executive Director, Matthew “Gmatt” Galang. He has constantly proven his dependability as a Partner and passion towards the organization. Along with next year’s incoming core, P4 is being left in good hands. And so comes the end of the year. I am truly grate-ful for the experiences and friendships I have forged. They will stay with me beyond college. I have enjoyed my two years being involved with P4. Its been a blast and I want to wish everyone nothing but the best during the rest of your time here at Cal and all of your future endeavors.
