Hispanics of Today & Tomorrow

Goal: $20,000.00

Specific Need

Hispanics Of Today & Tomorrow fundraises to provide educational funds for students of Hispanic heritage. Scholarships are awarded each year to eligible graduating high school seniors that reside in the Emporia area and plan to pursue higher education. All proceeds will be used to aid students in their pursuit of a college degree and a variety of culturally immersive and educational experiences for our community.

Mission

Hispanics of Today & Tomorrow was started to provide funding for students to pursue higher education and educate our community around the vast cultures represented here.

Profile

Since 1999, we have awarded students more than 300 scholarships totalling over $100,000. Funds for scholarships are gathered through a variety of fundraising initiatives throughout the year, including Match Day which plays a critical role in sustaining the organization.

Hispanics of Today & Tomorrow strives to unite and promote Hispanic cultures; participate in relevant community service events; assist students with scholarship opportunities; and engage our community with our cultures through events like Cinco de Mayo, Vamos a Pescar, Hispanic Heritage Month, and Dia de los Muertos. We also promote our cultures through performances of our dance group, Raices Hispanas Grupo Folklorico.

Hispanics of Today & Tomorrow and Raices Hispanas Grupo Folklorico membership is composed entirely of volunteers. Each individual donates their time and effort to support our mission. Without the tremendous support from donors, who believe in the cause, Hispanics of Today & Tomorrow would not exist and for that, we are grateful to the Emporia Community Foundation, our donors, our partners, and our community. THANK YOU!
