PICA’s total philanthropic grants and scholarship awards:
The funding for scholarships and grants are derived from any revenue we may see from the generosity of the general public who attend and donate to our organization at the yearly Bay Area Aloha Festival.
The true spirit of Aloha is the driving force that makes this festival a success. With the continuing support of those who attend this festival, along with your our sponsors and advertisers, PICA will continue to support your communities and your Ohana. Please help us and make a donation at our festival so that we may continue to support our community.
