14th Annual Barrio Fiesta
5740 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S, Seattle, WA 98118
Please join the Filipino Lawyers of Washington (FLOW) and the FLOW Foundation for the Fourteenth Annual Barrio Fiesta, which brings together attorneys, judges, and community leaders to celebrate the year's achievements and to recognize individuals and organizations that have contributed significantly to our communities. This is also the premier fundraising event for the FLOW Foundation, which provides scholarships to law students. Support and donations over the past 14 years have resulted in dozens of scholarships being awarded to students from all of Washington’s law schools and beyond.
We will be transforming the Filipino Community Center into a magical venue for our Barrio Fiesta. The evening will feature an authentic Filipino buffet, cultural presentations, dancing, and a surprise or two.
Since its formation in 2008, FLOW has been dedicated to giving a voice to Filipino American attorneys on important legal issues in the State of Washington. Now, more than ever, it’s important that we use that voice to advance the next generation of leaders. As such, we are proud to announce this year’s Barrio Fiesta’s theme: “Tuloy Po Kayo” which translates to “Please come in” in Tagalog. As attorneys from underrepresented communities, we know that there were many who came before us who held the door open for us, gave us a seat at the table, and whose mentorship and sponsorship helped foster our success. FLOW endeavors to pay this forward.
Considering this theme, we are honored to announce our 2023 Barrio Fiesta Keynote Speaker, former Seahawk Wide Receiver and Pro Bowler, Doug Baldwin. Doug Baldwin exemplifies the spirit of creating space and opportunity for the next generation. Doug recently opened the Family First Community Center in Renton, which provides recreation, education and wellness programs to underserved communities in Washington. He has been widely recognized for his continuing philanthropic contributions across the northwest and received the Paul G. Allen Humanitarian Award in 2023.
