Virtual Cinco de Mayo celebration sponsored by Pikes Peak Community College on May 5, 2021 featuring El Cinco de Mayo, Inc. Here is the recording of the Facebook Live event!
WHO WE ARE
Our organization’s mission is to provide cultural community activities, build cultural awareness and most importantly to provide scholarships to under-served/under-represented students in our local community. Our organization thanks all our supporters, sponsors, volunteers, members and families for the invaluable support and assistance each year. Without the great Team effort, partnerships and collaboration, the largest Cinco de Mayo celebration in Southern Colorado would not be possible.
El Cinco de Mayo, Inc. is celebrating 40 successful years in 2024. Over the past 32years, El Cinco de Mayo Inc. has awarded approximately $339,000 to 470 students in scholarships. This is a remarkable achievement in that all our members are volunteers. Our members work year-round to make this annual event possible, as well as to successfully meet our goal in 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 to 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.
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
