Hello AVANCE-Austin Familia,

We want to express our deepest thanks to you for joining us at AVANCE-Austin's 2019 Valor y Sueños Annual Luncheon.

Together, we gathered for an all-inclusive lunch to celebrate the courage and dreams of Austin families, honor this year's Griffith Family Legacy awardees Elma and James Aldrete, and be inspired by 38 Parent-Child Education Program graduates telling their stories of overcoming adversities with the help of AVANCE-Austin.

You made this year's event a great success and helped us raise over $170,000 through table sales, ticket purchases, paddles up donations, raffle ticket sales and general donations. Your remarkably generous support will provide more families with opportunities to fulfill their dreams! With your continued support, AVANCE-Austin hopes to serve 1,000 children and parents annually by the year 2023. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Kyler Ramsey and Jo Cassandra Cuevas
