Nuevo Leon Beta Chapter Sponsors Community Fund Raiser
Nuevo Leon’s Beta Chapter in Monterrey, Mexico, has developed a unique way to involve the community and raise funds for student scholarships. For the past two years, “El Arte Apoyando la Educacion” (The Arts Supporting Education) has been an annual event supported by hundreds of DKG members, friends of education, friends of the Arts, and community members and leaders. Attendees purchase tickets to the event where they enjoy beverages and hors d’oeuvres, music from local students and experience the work of Monterrey’s internationally known painter, Sergio Villareal Uribe. Mr. Uribe has donated not only the finished painting but also others for “auction” to raise additional funds.
This wonderful partnership between the chapter and community provides not only an opportunity to further the purposes of the Society but also to promote awareness of DKG and its impact on education worldwide.
