[Chall_20-21] #GivingTuesday Tomás Rivera & Chicano Latino Alumni Scholarship Funds

[Estella Acuna]

Dear Estudiantes,



I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits! Today is #GivingTuesday and we humbly ask you to consider joining Chicano Student Programs by donating $1.00 to the UCR Chicano Latino Alumni Scholarship and/or the Tomás Rivera Scholarship Fund. Our mission and purpose has always been to support students in pursuing their paths to empowerment. Whether it be through our scholarships, fellowships, or resources - we stay true and committed to that mission.



For the UCR department that receives the most unique individual donations no matter the size of the gift is eligible to receive $28,000 for that fund. So if we get a gift of a dollar it helps us reach that goal.

UCR takes pride in the steady growth of Chicano/Latino students. In fact, UCR is now one of the most diverse universities in the country, and Tomás Rivera was definitely an important contributor to this.

We enter 2021 with still many unknowns and much uncertainty, but our mission is as clear as ever. And we hope that you can affirm your values and support for students with your donation today. Stay Safe. Un abrazo de lejitos.



Todos Somos Highlanders!
