We were too busy having fun last night Eating yummy tacos, playing lotería, and being in community! Sorry, we didn't take more pics! It was so fun to see current and former students of Casa Grande High School, as well as teachers, parents, grandparents, and friends in attendance. Student volunteers included past scholarship winners and students looking to learn more about what opportunities are available this upcoming year. Our hope is the more involved we are in the community, the more students feel comfortable asking for support because we are ready for them! If you know any students, encourage them to apply! DM us if there are any questions!

Today is National First-Generation Day to recognize students of all backgrounds breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations. 90% of the students that apply to a Gaucho Go-Getter scholarship are the first in their family to do life-changing things like get an education in the US, graduate high school, consider going to college or pursuing a professional career, navigating social and political systems, pursuing long term financial and health benefits. So much is to be learned and we are committed to supporting them along the way. It starts with celebrating their accomplishments thus far and providing a financial scholarship to take the next step in their journey.

Join us at Mi Ranchito Loteria Night to raise funds for these scholarships.

We were not able to attend the event to deliver the awards but it was so fun to get responses from different students immediately after. Receiving pictures, emails, and texts expressing their gratitude and excitement just shows how much humility these students have. Thank you to all our supporters for giving us a chance to reward all their hope and resilience.
