The Filipino American Heritage Foundation of Nevada (FAHF-Nevada) takes pride in recognizing and honoring Filipinos and Filipino Americans across the state of Nevada for their exceptional achievements and meaningful contributions to the community. Recipients of the Golden Pearl Awards are selected through community nominations and carefully reviewed by the Awards Committee based on their professional excellence, leadership, community involvement, cultural advocacy, innovation, positive impact, and ethical standards.
The 2026 Gala & Golden Pearl Awards is held in observance of Filipino American Heritage Month, commemorating the rich history, heritage, and lasting contributions of Filipino Americans in the United States. Guided by this year’s theme, “Heritage: Our Strength | Progress: Our Future,” the event brings together community members, leaders, families, and supporters in a celebration of excellence, cultural pride, and the enduring legacy of the Filipino American community.
The gala will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the Nevada Ballroom, Gold Coast Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Guests are encouraged to attend in Filipiniana or formal attire as they join the community in honoring this year’s distinguished award recipients and celebrating the strength of Filipino heritage and the promise of future generations.
