El Centro wishes to extend a sincere thank you to the following sponsors for donating monetary and in-kind gifts to the 2024 East End Posada: Calpine, GE Healthcare, Gonzalez Law Group, Sanmore, Sesco Cement, Rotary Club of Harrisburg, Vico Mfg. Inc., Frost Bank, Barrio Dogs, Council Member Joaquin Martinez, Council Member Sallie Alcorn, Laura Najera, Laura Stridiron/ABB Westchase and Julia Davila. The total raised was an amazing $22,180.

El Centro collaborated with numerous local elementary schools to gather names of underserved families that did not have the resources to buy gifts for their children. Thanks to our generous sponsors, El Centro sponsored 60 children, and over 147 gifts were given to children (ages 3-17) who received at least two gifts each this year. In addition, each family received a Children’s Museum family pass for up to six people.

El Centro would also like to thank our volunteers from GE Healthcare, Rotary Club of Harrisburg, Vico Mfg. Inc, and El Centro staff. The 2024 East End Posada was a tremendous success because of your generous support and involvement. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of many children and families in Houston’s East End.
