CINCO de MAYO PARADE AND CELEBRATION
SATURDAY, MAY 12TH, 2012
DECKER BLVD (Richland County’s International Corridor)
Dear Friends:
Latino Communications Community Development Corporation (LCCDC) is a non-for-profit 501c3 organization serving low to
moderate income families in 5 counties throughout the Midlands. We are requesting a monetary donation to help fund our
Annual Cinco de Mayo Parade & Celebration on Saturday, May 12, 2012. It will commence at 11:00 am and conclude at 4:00
pm, beginning at the 1900 block of Decker Blvd and ending at the 2500 block of Decker Blvd in Columbia SC. We will offer:
information on Homeownership, Foreclosure Prevention, Predatory Lending, Health Screenings, Fitness/Movement and At-Risk
Youth Prevention not to mention Food, Music, Entertainment and Children’s Activities all being offered FREE to the communities
we serve.
Our sponsorships have been broken into 3 levels of contribution: Gold-$1500, Silver-$1000, Bronze-$850
Your in-kind donations and monetary contributions will provide the following:
 Food, water, beverages, ice and snacks
 Door prizes for our participants
 Balloons/Decorations
 Children’s activities such as Hula hoops, Jump rope, Face painters, Coloring books, Crayons etc…
 Printed educational materials that will be given to all families
Our goal is to help blur the lines that separate the communities we serve by enabling us to see ourselves as one. We intend to
do this by sharing this unique Latin-American holiday that in truth transcends any and all ethnic boundaries. Celebrating Cinco
de Mayo has become increasingly more popular along the U.S.-Mexico border and in parts of the U.S. that have a high
population of people with a Mexican heritage. We have found that by sharing our heritage and culture through food, music,
beverage and customs; we are more able to show the love we have for one another as we open our minds to show how similar
we really are.
Commercial interests in the United States and Mexico have also had a hand in promoting the holiday, with products and services
focused on Latino foods, beverages and festivities, with music playing a more visible role as well. Several cities throughout the
U.S. hold parades and concerts during the week ending on May 5th, making Cinco de Mayo a bigger holiday north of the border
than it is to the south, and being adopted into the holiday calendar of more and more people every year.
The festivities will conclude with traditional music, dancing, food and storytelling.
We realize how often you are asked to make donations and we appreciate your willingness to consider assisting us. We need
your help to reach our goals.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions at 803-227-8984 or at our mailing address of PO Box 23693 Columbia SC 29224.
We sincerely thank you in advance for your support!
