HISTORY OF FASCI

The Filipino-American Society of Central Illinois, (FASCI), is a vibrant community of Filipinos, their families, and lovers of Filipino culture that gather for the purposes of connection, community, and service. As of 2025, FASCI's membership reaches over 300 people in the Greater Peoria and Tri-County area.

Inspired by what this beautiful and generous country called the United States of America and the Tri-County Community of Central Illinois had been providing to their families and well-being, several local individuals having deep cultural and religious roots to the Philippines and that Country's magnificent beauty, established the Filipino-American Society of Central Illinois, now commonly known as (FASCI).

Since then, FASCI, its Leadership, its Members and Friends, have been the leading purveyors of anything Filipino; from its Arts, Culture, and world-class Cuisines to its people's ready, and ever-welcoming friendliness.

FASCI continues to be recognized by numerous Community and Business Leaders as one of the leading contributing organizations to the area.
