Waves for Hope: Art & Collectibles for Community Impact

Story

From September 3 to 5, Waves for Hope brings together artists, toy designers, collectors, and communities for a showcase that turns creativity into direct support for families who need it most. Everyone’s invited—with Opening Night on Sept 3, 6:00 PM at GH Mall – South Wing, San Juan City—to explore museum-caliber canvases and sculptures beside coveted designer toys and limited editions. It’s a walkable, story-rich experience where every viewing can become a meaningful acquisition.

Where your support goes

• Smokey Mountain Programs & Learning Center — Ongoing education support, youth development, and child-protection efforts serving families in and around the Smokey Mountain community.

Sustaining the Work: JCI Manila Foundation Launch

This year’s exhibit also marks the launch of the JCI Manila Foundation—a long-term funding platform that keeps support flowing to Smokey Mountain programs and Two Big Impact. Built on integrity, transparency, and measurable results, the Foundation helps today’s generosity turn into ongoing classrooms, protection programs, and clean-water access for years to come.
