Cinco De Mayo Event Raises Over $6,000 for San Miguel Schools!

On Sunday, May 2, San Miguel Schools welcomed students, families, community members and local performers to the 4th Annual Cinco de Mayo Celebration, a celebration of culture, family and community.

Over 600 people attended this event, held at the Back of the Yards Campus, on 48th street between Damen and Winchester.  Featuring food, games, and performances by The South Shore Drill Team, Back of the Yards Ballet Folklorico, Nahui Ollin, and the Holy Cross Marimba Ensemble, this celebration highlighted the cultural history of Cinco de Mayo, and paid tribute to Mexico's rich traditions.

With money raised from raffle tickets, food and drink sales, and sponsorships from Bush's Best, Marvel Group, Calmark, Columbia Pipe & Supply and Vintage Charm, the event raised over $6,000 to go directly to support the scholarship fund at San Miguel Schools.

Thank you to everyone who supported this event!  We hope to see you for next year's Cinco De Mayo Celebration.
