ABOUT EL CINCO DE MAYO INC.

🌟 Join us in creating change! 🌟

 

At El Cinco De Mayo Inc., we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all.  Our organization's mission is to provide cultural community activities, build cultural awareness, and, most importantly, provide scholarships to underserved/underrepresented students in our local community. Our organization thanks all of our supporters, sponsors, volunteers, members, and families from the Pikes Peak Region and Southern Colorado for the invaluable support and assistance each and every year. Without the great team effort, partnerships, and collaboration, the largest Cinco de Mayo celebration in Southern Colorado would not be possible.

Over the past 30 years, El Cinco de Mayo Inc. has provided approximately $381,500 to 511 students. This is a remarkable achievement in that all of our members are volunteers. Our members work year-round to make this annual event possible, as well as to successfully meet our goal of providing scholarships.

Our organization is always seeking individuals to commit and serve on the committee. If you are interested in getting involved and volunteering your time, talents, and experience, please consider joining our efforts. We welcome anyone who shares the belief that our cultural celebration is an essential piece of our community. It is through the efforts of many, in a unified manner, that we may continue to provide Cinco de Mayo celebrations in Colorado Springs and support local education through scholarships.

  1. Donate: Every dollar counts. Contribute now to help us reach our goal.

  2. Share: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and on social media. Your advocacy can amplify our impact.

  3. Volunteer: Your time and skills can make an impact too.
