Benefit Breakfast 2018

For the second year in a row, Guadalupe School held a September benefit breakfast called "Pancakes with a Purpose" at the Fall Events Center. The development team and board of directors at Guadalupe enjoy the opportunity to plan and provide events that community members can attend where they will learn more about the programs, services, and mission of our organization. 

This year, guests were especially privileged to hear from Luis Garza as the keynote speaker. Luis is the executive director of Comunidades Unidas, a community partner of Guadalupe School that advocates for the mission of "empowering the Latino community in Utah to recognize and achieve their own potential and become a positive force for change in the larger community" and its goal of "healthy and united families." Luis spoke about the work of Guadalupe School, Comunidades Unidas, and similar organizations in helping the citizens of Utah to stand strong in their support of the immigrant community, by learning about people from different backgrounds, empathizing with them, and helping them gain access to necessary resources like quality education. 

In total, the sponsors and attendees were able to contribute $25,000 to go towards Guadalupe School's programs. We are so grateful for the generosity of our donors, and can guarantee that this financial support will be used in ways that transform the lives of individual students and families at Guadalupe. If you couldn't make it to the breakfast, but would still like to donate, please visit our give page. In addition, keep your eye out for upcoming Guadalupe School fundraising events, such as our annual "Love Guadalupe Movie Night" that will take place on February 12, 2019. ​
