¡10th Anniversary Tapas! – celebrating SLI's first decade
About this event
¡10th Anniversary Tapas! celebrates Scholars Latino Initiative's first decade as a Virginia nonprofit supporting Latino/a/x high school students with college access through rigorous academic challenge, leadership development, scholarships, and supportive mentorships. Learn all about SLI at vasli.org.
An evening of mingling over diverse, locally sourced heavy hors d’oeuvres, the celebration will also feature wine, beer from Three Notch'd Brewing Co., a live music performance by Lua Project, and salsa and bachata dancing led by Phillip Fusaro. This outdoor/tent family-friendly event On Sunny Slope Farm is best suited for ages 12+.
HISTORY: The foundations of SLI’s mission began well before SLI’s first decade as a Virginia nonprofit. The original SLI was founded by Peter Iver Kaufman and others in 2001 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2008 Kaufman brought SLI to the University of Richmond, Virginia, and later to the Shenandoah Valley, where this organization was incorporated in 2012 and became a 501c3 public charity. Kaufman continues to serve as the SLI program director in Richmond.
