PAR EXCELLENCE: VAMOS HOSTS 27TH ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT

The 27th Annual VAMOS Golf Tournament, presented by DHR Health, was held on Saturday, March 4th, at McAllen’s Champion Lakes Golf Course. VAMOS awards four-year renewable scholarships to graduating high school seniors from low socioeconomic backgrounds. All proceeds from this year’s golf tournament go to fund academic scholarships.

VAMOS was established in 1996 by local business leaders in response to the low university graduation rate among Hispanic students in the Rio Grande Valley. Since its inception, VAMOS has awarded over $24 million in scholarships to over 1100 students in Hidalgo, Cameron, and Starr counties.

Helping Young Children Grow Up Great

On March 14th and 15th, PNC Grow Up Great hosted the Mobile Learning Adventure (MLA) at the Museum of South Texas History and the International Museum of Arts and Science. The traveling exhibit provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers to learn about the importance of early childhood education while they engage in fun activities with their children.

As part of PNC Grow Up Great® – a $350 million, multi-year, bilingual initiative that began in 2004 to help prepare young children for success in school and life – the MLA includes the When I Grow Up photo station, where kids dress up as different professionals. In addition, parents can take home activity books and learning kits that demonstrate how to take everyday moments and turn them into learning opportunities. With a focus on underserved children from birth to age 5, Grow Up Great and Crezca con Éxito provide innovative opportunities that assist families, educators, and community partners in enhancing children’s learning and development. Extensive research indicates that the returns on investments in high-quality early education and school readiness initiatives are significant and long-lasting - impacting our children, our society, and the health of our economy for generations to come. To date, the program has served 4 million children. For more information, please visit www.pncgrowupgreat.com
