13th Annual Cesar Chavez Scholarship Breakfast Scheduled

The Redlands Human Relations Commission invites residents of Redlands and surrounding communities to attend its 13th Annual César Chávez Scholarship Breakfast. The annual scholarship breakfast recognizes and provides awareness of the efforts of the late civil rights and farm labor leader, celebrating César Chávez’s legacy of compassion, education, and equality for all Americans. Last year’s event raised enough funds to provide $1,000 scholarships to several Redlands Unified School District students that the committee felt exemplified the spirit of Chávez. This year’s breakfast will be held from 7 to 9 a.m. Thursday, March 26, at the American Legion Post 650, 1532 North Church St. A stirring program is planned, followed by an auction of various goods, including art work, and community business packages. Donations in any amount are requested to support the scholarship fund. Contact your tax professional to determine if your donation may be tax deductible. Please make checks payable to the City of Redlands and mail to Redlands Police Department (Cesar Chavez Breakfast Scholarship Fund), PO Box 1025, Redlands CA 92373. Donations determine the number and amount of scholarships that can be awarded. Tickets to the breakfast are available for $10 at the door or by contacting Officer Chris Mead at 909-798-7534 or by email at cmead@redlandspolice.org. For more information, please contact Officer Mead.
