The LULAC National Legislative Awards Gala highlights critical
legislative issues affecting Hispanic Americans and recognizes key
leaders who have served the Hispanic community well. LULAC will
present awards to three distinguished elected officials at our
eleventh gala, which will occur on Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at
the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Washington, DC. The hotel is located just
two blocks from the White House and Washington Mall area. We will
also celebrate the 79th anniversary of LULAC, which was formed on
February 17, 1929.
Proceeds from the LULAC National Legislative
Awards Gala support the important work of the LULAC National Office.
This includes LULAC’s policy and legislative advocacy, as well as
its organizing of Hispanic communities through the creation of LULAC
councils throughout the United States. Contributions to the
legislative gala are not tax deductible as a charitable
contribution, but may be deductible as a business expense.
LULAC
With over 700 councils across the United States
and Puerto Rico, the League of United Latin American Citizens is the
largest and oldest Hispanic Organization in the United States. LULAC
advances the economic condition, educational attainment, political
influence, health and civil rights of Hispanic Americans through
community-based programs operated by LULAC councils nationwide. The
organization involves and serves all Hispanic nationality groups.
THE LULAC CORPORATE ALLIANCE
The LULAC Corporate Alliance, an advisory board of
Fortune 500 companies, fosters stronger partnerships between
Corporate America and the Hispanic community and provides advice and
assistance to the LULAC organization. Corporations participating in
the Alliance work with LULAC in developing national and
community-based programs to address the needs of the Hispanic
community and to ensure that the nation’s future work force obtains
the necessary education and skills to keep America productive. |
