We, at El Centro Cultural de Mexico, would like to extend this special day to all children, families, cultural groups, community resources and businesses in and around Santa Ana, in an effort to bring together communities of diverse cultures, promoting global understanding and celebrating our multicultural nation through play, the arts, and literacy.

We plan to have a health fair, cultural music & dance, arts & crafts, games, toy raffles, and non-profit resources for children. We would like to take this opportunity to bring families of all cultural backgrounds together in honoring all of the children in our communities. We are seeking volunteers, cultural entertainment, talented children performers, non-profits that work with children, donations of toys, books, and raffle prizes, and in-kind and monetary contributions from local area businesses.

If your business is interested in donating to this project we would greatly appreciate your support. All donations would be recognized in the events program and any gifts contributed can be used as tax deductions.

All donations will be used for the Dia del Niño / Children’s Day event and for the benefit of the community and all members of the comite for Dia del Niño / Children’s Day are non-paid volunteers. Our vision is to provide a day of music, dancing, workshops, and activities, bringing the community together and joy to many children.

VOLUNTEERS, VENDORS, SPONSORS NEEDED!!!

Thank you for your support, Comite Dia del Niño / Children’s Day

Search for local organizations that are reliable and trustworthy to donate. Do not donate food, clothing or anything else since is hard to ship all these items. The best way to support is with your monetary donations. The natural disaster relief arm of the Organization of American States, PADF ensures donations made through the site are safe and secure. Also the Red Cross, Churches and Consulates.

Several charities set up text-messaging systems to allow people to give micro donations, in which $5 or $10 goes directly to the charity, if people type in certain key words. Ask your local church or newspaper how can you help. I have compiled some links to different organizations that can be contacted directly. Please DO NOT contact us since we can help but to spread the word and keeeping people informed. Thank you and God Bless you!
