Fútbol con Corazón Fundraiser
We are excited to share this wonderful event that Cultura Ambassador and Advisory Board Member Lilian Peña has brought to our attention. Fútbol con Corazóns 4th Annual event will be held this coming June 22, 2019 at Sacred Heart Schools in Atherton, California.
This activity helps unaccompanied minors throughout the Bay Area.
Do you know that unaccompanied minors are:
- Seeking escape from persecution, abandonment, exploitation, serious deprivation, and violence in their communities. They also may be the victim of human trafficking.
- Alone. Separated from family or orphaned.
- From all over the world; with the majority from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico.
- Only represented by counsel in court 32% of the time.
- Confronted with a low 15% success rate when unrepresented in court. With representation, the success rate rises to 73%.

The Latino Military Legacy America Should Know by Heart
I served in the U.S. Coast Guard. I came home. Not everyone does. This Memorial Day, Silicon Valley Latino honors the Latino veterans whose courage helped build the greatest military force in history — and whose legacy America still has not fully learned by heart.
When Latinas Build Together, Communities Transform
In Silicon Valley, where innovation is celebrated and resources flow freely, Latina women have too often been left out of that story. Unidas Somos Más Fuertes (USMF) was built specifically to change that.
