Plainsboro Founders Day

Sankalpa USA has been an enthusiastic participant in Plainsboro’s annual Founders Day celebrations, held on the first Saturday of May, actively promoting cultural pride, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. Each year, our members proudly march in the Founders Day parade, celebrating the rich diversity and vibrant spirit of our community. A central part of our participation is the popular plant sale fundraiser, which directly supports Sankalpa’s mission of fostering greener, healthier neighborhoods. We also organize engaging, eco-themed games and activities for children, inspiring the next generation to care for the environment while adding a fun, interactive element to the day’s festivities. Through these efforts, Sankalpa proudly strengthens Plainsboro’s Founders Day legacy while promoting wellness, environmental care, and cultural pride.
