Ánimo™ Presentation - Detailed information on the conference

In honor of our 5th Anniversary, we will be presenting one young man
a $500.00 scholarship to the college of choice.

Our 5th Annual Conference features a full day of mentorship, motivational speakers,
live entertainment, empowering activities and learning how to work toward achieving
a successful education. This community-minded conference is strategically designed to
incorporate cultural and family values as a foundation for our children's lives.

Master of Ceremony: Sid Garcia, ABC 7

The relationships you begin today are ones you can keep for years to come. Strengthening your relationship with your father or uncle or other man in your life whom you respect will go a long way to developing as a young man who understands what is expected of you and how you can achieve your goals. Remember that we adults have gone through what you’re about to experience. Let us help guide you and also keep you on the right path.

God bless,
Sid Garcia
