The Asociacion de Puertorriquenos Unidos de Carolina del Norte's primary focus is to create and promote events that will enrich and enhance the Puerto Rican culture in our communities. As natural born citizens of the United States, we are Latin Americans who are intrinsically bound to the United States and Puerto Rico with fierce pride. As Hispanics, we respect and invite all other cultures to participate with us in our quest to celebrate diversity and promote our latin heritage.
