The Firecracker event is going VIRTUAL for 2021! While the experience may be a little different, our purpose will not change we wouldn’t think of it when our community's needs are at their greatest. All proceeds will continue to be reinvested into the community, in support of elementary schools and non-profit organizations, providing services and programs needed more than ever. Let's rise by lifting others. Thanks for your support!... http://bit.ly/2021Firecracker

Our 2021 events will take place virtually with online participation from now until the weekend of February 27 & 28, 2021. This year we introduce the Trifecta and the Fundraising Challenge. With your increased support, we can achieve more. Though we prefer to celebrate each Lunar New Year together in person, we make adjustments together now to reach our shared goals in support of healthy and thriving communities.... https://runsignup.com//CA/LosAngeles/LAChinatownFirecracker

We stand together with our community and all those who stand against racism. Unity, strength and change. #blackouttuesday

Thank you to Homeboy Industries for once again donating food to those in our community who need it most. Today, we picked up meals for the homeless and front liner staff at the temporary shelter operating at Chinatown’s Alpine Park . Please give thanks and show your support by purchasing yummy treats from Homeboy perfect for Fathers Day and graduations!

Members of our Firecracker community have been posting about Ahmaud Arbery, and the 2.23 mile runs, walks, and bike rides that they dedicated to his memory. Thank you for shedding light on the senseless and tragic, racial injustice. We cannot undo the wrongs, but we can affect change for a better future together. All people should live with dignity and respect and without fear of violence. : reposted with permission from @mr.gabrielortega (Instagram)... . . . #bethechange #diversewerun #runwithmaud See more

Many of us were unable to visit with our loved ones this Mother’s Day weekend, and many lives have been lost. Our mothers remain in our hearts. We wish all of you good health and strength as we navigate unique paths during this difficult time. Special shout out to Running Mamís for holding a special place in our hearts. We are grateful that you are a part of our Firecracker family! Reposted : IG @lady_doctora_corazon @c_lopez24 . . .... #firecracker10k #firecrackerla #werunla #runningmama #mothersday2020 See more

We are extremely grateful for partnerships and collaborations to further our Firecracker mission. Thank you to Senator Ling Ling Chang for sharing the generous donation from La Brea Bakery We scrambled with very little notice to successfully work with Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA), Chinatown Service Center and other community organizations to distribute to seniors and families in need. The global #GivingTuesdayNow campaign runs now through next Tuesday, May 5, ...to highlight unity and giving in response to the rise in need caused by the crisis. Please consider donating to the nonprofit organizations that you believe in and align with. A link to our donation page is in our bio. Our elected officials continue working with government agencies, and others to assist those most affected by this crisis, yet they rely heavily on community mutual aid efforts during this unprecedented time. . . . #firecrackerla #firecracker10k #stayathome #flattenthecurve #lachinatown #communitypartnerships #takecareofourseniors #takecareofothersinneed #healthiertogether

Every year, Firecracker funds are awarded to organizations providing programs and services that support our communities. We decided to set aside additional funds to contribute to relief efforts that support those struggling to make ends meet as a result of this pandemic.
