Description
In 2016, we celebrate 18 years of opening doors of opportunity for children in San José. Be a part of our work and join us as we celebrate another year!
Inspire Young Minds will take place on Saturday, March 12, 2016 and feature a reception with California wines, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, a silent auction, and a brief program. Plus, you have an opportunity to mingle and meet others in our community who value children’s education.
Downtown favorite Mezcal Restaurant will cater a special menu that you won’t want to miss! This year, prepare yourself for handmade tortillas. Yes, we’ll have someone making tortillas fresh on the spot for you! Our chef will also give a brief presentation on the culinary history and traditions of Oaxaca. To start, we’ll have fresh guacamole and salsa, a Tricolor salad with cilantro vinaigrette, and assorted fresh vegetables and seasonal fruit. For the main course, you won't want to miss Mezcal’s famous Oaxacan Chicken Mole with sides of Oaxacan style black beans and rice.
Our event will be held in the main hall of the historic First Unitarian Church of San Jose. We will be offering tours of our classroom and computer lab. Third Street staff and children will be present to share their experiences of our programs.
Each year, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses to keep our own doors open. If you are not yet familiar with our work, please visit our website at www.3street.org and view our latest video highlighting the impact of our work in our community. We also have a great video regarding our impact on youth (45th Playmaker drafted by Levi’s/50 Fund).
Your attendance at this event will support our work to bridge the achievement gap, promote STEM education, and create a college going culture for disadvantaged children in San José. Proceeds raised from this event will provide 550 hours of educational, enrichment, and mentoring opportunities to over 130 children in one school year.
