Exclusive Limited Edition Kalamansi White Chocolate Donut Launches on November 30th
Vancouver, B.C. -In a flavourful fusion of community, culture, and mental wellness, Toronto-based Kalamansi Collective is partnering with iconic local favourite Lee’s Donuts to launch an exclusive limited-edition Kalamansi White Chocolate Donut.
The collaboration will be highlighted by a special event, Kalamansi Collective Chats Vancouver, a panel discussion on mental health and its impact on entrepreneurs’ successes. The partnership brings together two brands dedicated to supporting the Filipino community’s well-being and celebrating the rich cultural diversity in Vancouver.
The 2nd edition of Kalamansi Collective Chats, will include small business owners and entrepreneurs that will share personal stories and discuss the role that mental health plays in their success. The panel discussion will cover the often-overlooked challenges faced by entrepreneurs, the importance of mental resilience, and strategies to create a balanced, supportive work environment. By shedding light on these experiences, Kalamansi Collective and Lee’s Donuts hope to inspire young Filipino British Columbians to start their own businesses while learning to care for their mental well-being.
“We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with our friends at Lee’s Donuts, not just to create a special edition donut, but to open up more important conversations around mental health in the Filipino culture” said Kris Pangilinan, Founder of Kalamansi Collective. “With a focus on finding success in small business ownership, we want to celebrate Filipino entrepreneurs and inspire the younger generation to create something of their own.”
To celebrate the collaboration, Lee’s Donuts will offer the Kalamansi White Chocolate Donut for one day only on Saturday, November 30th. The donut, inspired by Kalamansi Collective’s origin, pairs the bright citrus of kalamansi with smooth white chocolate—a delicious symbol of cultural fusion and community support.
