The Tuesday after Thanksgiving weekend is Giving Tuesday, a nation-wide wave of giving to organizations whose mission is to provide service to the community.  Giving Tuesday is Cashion Cultural Legacy‘s annual online fundraising campaign to support tuition assistance for Los Lupeños Academy students and families.  If you follow dance company Los Lupeños on Facebook or Instagram you will see reminders and be able to track our campaign progress. Your donation will make a significant difference during the following 12 months. The Cashion Cultural Legacy is a federally-recognized nonprofit 501(c)(3) arts organization and as such your contribution is tax deductible to the extent allowable by current tax law.

How to Contribute

Look for our main Giving Tuesday campaign on Facebook every year.  You can also make a direct contribution at any time of the year by going to Cashion Cultural Legacy’s Mighty Cause or PayPal Giving Fund listing. Or, you can send your donation to us via Zelle finding us via email (info@cashionculturallegacy.org). You can also send a contribution to our nonprofit Venmo business account by searching for our handle @CashionCulturalLegacy. Unless otherwise targeted, all contributions made in November and December every year will be considered to be part of our Giving Tuesday campaign to support Los Lupeños Academy.

Why support Los Lupeños Academy?
You may know that dance education is good fitness for the body but it also builds self-confidence, teamwork, respect, and clear thinking. Our folklórico dance classes tie this into culture, traditions, history, and music. Our students build new bridges to their extended families and to their ethnic origins. Offering accessible arts education to the community is now more challenging than ever which is why our Giving Tuesday focus is on funding the Tuition Assistance Program which provides up to 85% registration fee relief to families that are cannot afford classes for themselves or for their children. This program ensures that nobody is turned away. Los Lupeños Academy has offered this help since 2017 thanks to the generosity of many individual donors.

How does folklórico dance impact its participants?
We have begun to collecting and sharing stories that illustrate how participation in folklórico dance, whether as a student or as a participant, makes an impact. Read these stories on our Impact page.
