The annual George Washington Charity Ball is an anticipated flagship social event celebrated by the American Association of the Philippines (AAP) since its inception in 1949. As the premier event to kick start the year, it is the preeminent venue where American expatriates, Filipino-American residents, and key leaders in business, politics and social circles meet up, engage and reconnect.

Now on its 72nd year, the charity ball is not just a social event but a venue where the AAP recognizes the achievements and accomplishments of its members and key business and community leaders. It also serves as a platform for the organization to set up fundraisers for its charitable causes, philanthropic activities and community outreach programs. Furthermore, it serves as a launchpad for future collaborative efforts by the AAP with its partners.
