Dear Friends,

Due to the economy, many of the Fiesta Puerto Rican Festival & Parade sponsors are not donating as much as before. The unexpected budget shortfall threatens the future of our cherished celebration.

Since this is a free, community festival for families, your contribution helps keep it free, accessible, and special for everyone.

We know times are tough for everyone, but your support shows how much our community values this festival. Any donation of $5, $10, or $25 makes a difference for the festival and parade.

Your support will help cover essential expenses like permitting and venue costs, artist and entertainment fees, and the equipment needed to bring the festival and parade to life. But Fiesta Puerto Rico is about so much more than a single day of celebration. It's a time when we honor unsung heroes in our community with special awards, provide scholarships to deserving students, and support those facing food insecurity or recovering from disasters in Puerto Rico. We also take time to remember community members who have passed, keeping their memory alive as we look to the future.

By contributing, sharing, or joining us at Fiesta Puerto Rico, you help keep our culture and traditions alive for the next generation. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a real difference. Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us celebrate what makes us unique. Together, we can ensure that Fiesta Puerto Rico continues to inspire, uplift, and unite us all.

Thank you for your time.

Victor Huyke
