ππ§‘ UMATILLA BOOSTER CLUB MEMBER SPOTLIGHT π§‘π
π€ Name & Role:
Monica Ascencio Torres β Director
π What made you decide to join the Booster Club?
I enjoy giving back to our youth! They are our future.
π§‘ What is your favorite part about being in the Booster Club?
Feeling like I'm making a difference. Every time we are able to support students, it makes it all worth it.
π Do you have children who attend Umatilla?
Yes, I do! I am a UHS alumna myself, and my two oldest graduated from UHS! Lots of blue and orange love in our home! Go, Vikings! ππ§‘
π§‘ What is your favorite Booster event?
Auction & Elephant Ears.
π What do you enjoy when you are not volunteering?
I love spending time with my family, traveling, exploring new places, and just enjoying the little moments with the people I love.
β¨ Fun fact someone may not know about you:
Before getting into real estate, I helped launch Oregonβs first paid family and medical leave program. Now Iβm a busy wife, mom, realtor, and community volunteer, and somehow Iβm always finding another project to take on.
π§‘ Why would you encourage someone else to join?
Iβd encourage people to join because you quickly realize that itβs about so much more than fundraising. Itβs about showing up for our kids, supporting their activities and dreams, and being part of a community that truly cares. The friendships and memories you make along the way are just an added bonus. ππ§‘
