(Frankie L. Chavez Memorial Scholarship Foundation)...There 29th annual Fundraiser will be held February 25.

The parents of Frankie Chavez head the Foundation. Frankie and his friend Nathan Mata were killed in a traffic collision on December 4th, 1993. The collision occurred after another vehicle ran a stop sign. This year's fundraiser will be held at Hinajosa Park in Brawley and will feature Pit BBQ plates for sale, live entertainment and a softball and horse shoe tournament. The goal is to raise funds to provide scholarships to Brawley Union High School and Calipatria High School Seniors preparing to attend college. Last year, $10,000 in scholaships were awarded to 20 seniors. They have awarded $286,550 in scholarships in the past 28 years Donations will also be accepted at the event.
