The
Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
will hold its 26th annual Stars on the Rise Scholarship
Awards Banquet and Silent Auction at 7 p.m., Wednesday,
June 21, 2006, at the
Fairmont
Hotel.
The program will celebrate the DHCC
Foundation's presentation of $350,000 in college
scholarships to the Dallas Independent School
District last week. The sum included $150,000
from Education Is Freedom, the newest chamber
partner. State Rep. Rick Noriega will deliver
the keynote address.
The foundation, created in 1990,
first gave a donation to the DISD in 2003 that
provided more than a quarter of a million dollars
in scholarships. Since then, the foundation has
raised its commitment each year, increasing its
donation by $50,000 this year. DISD general superintendent
Dr. Michael Hinojosa accepted the gift at last
week's event.
Victor Zepeda is the Greater Dallas
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce chairman and Maricela
Aguilar is president. Gabriel Almanza and Angel
Reyes are co-chairs of Wednesday's education banquet.
Tickets are $55 each.
Call 214-521-6007 for reservations.
