Overview

Mission

The foundation works with children from the hispanic community supporting in various culturalaspects including the teaching of the traditional mexican activity of the charreria

What it reported doing in 2025

Charreria program is a Mexican equestrian program, where the girls do a routine on side saddle and the boys participate in a variety of challenges known as lucks (suertes). We had a great year. We participated in the St. Patricks Day parade in downtown Atlanta. We hosted a fall festival fundraiser to help raise funds for the costumes and other program costs. Thank you to the donations we were able to lower the cost of the girls teams costumes. The girls teams participated in their state competition. The boys team competed in the juvenile competition and one of the participants won first place in bull riding. In addition, in the summer the elementary aged team was created and began their practices. Charreria also participated in several schools where they showed off their roping skills and promoted Mexican culture during Hispanic heritage month. We were also able to bring in instructors for intensive practices to help the participates practice their skills.
