What a great way to end the year with the Secret Santa Luncheon put together by the Project 150 Youth Council and community sponsors! Thank you to our host, Canyon Ridge Christian Church, Andria Knowles-Coleman and parents for generously cooking and donating the food for us, and all of those who sponsored a family and donated their time to make this event happen. With your contributions we were able to assist over 65 students and their families, totaling over 260 people. The Youth Council could not have done it without you!

Wishing all college students good luck on this busy finals week! We are proud of you and know YOU GOT THIS!

The Youth Council was fortunate enough to assist Candlelighters with their holiday event today. It was such a great event; to see all the kids and families enjoy their time was rewarding. Thank you to Anderson Dairy, Smith’s, and OSM for assisting with our food station.

Best wishes go out to our 2018-2019 Scholarship Recipients as they start their first day of the semester. The Project 150 team and supporters are so proud of what they have accomplished so far and cannot wait to see what else they can achieve. You got this Project 150 Youth Council Scholars!!

College Tips for Success was definitely a success! Thank you to our panelist: Sabrina Roybal, Jessica Roybal, Jesus Basulto, Citlally Adame, and Robert Vargas who shared their experiences and tips on the upcoming semester. Our scholarship recipients are ready for their first day on Monday.

It is with great regret for the Project 150 Youth Council to announce that we have to cancel the Velasquez Memorial Scholarship Soccer Tournament this weekend. Nevertheless we plan on continuing Angel and Jackie’s legacy with other fundraising plans. We would love for everyone to help us fundraise by simply donating to the Scholarship Program by visiting our website.

For those of you able to attend the memorial anniversary, feel free to join us tomorrow at Palms Northwest Mortuary at 7:30pm. Let’s show Angel and Jackie’s family that regardless of the outcome of the tournament we will still support and honor them ❤️🙏🏼
