LA TEQUILA FEST Returns This September

The Andrés y María Cárdenas Family Foundation (AMCFF) has announced the return of its highly anticipated LA Tequila Fest, set for September 7 at the prestigious LA Center Studios from 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM. 

As AMCFF's signature fundraising event, the LA Tequila Fest supports the foundation's scholarship program, primarily benefiting Latinx students who embody the values of hard work, perseverance, and community commitment.

This annual tradition celebrates the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Mexico's most iconic spirit and fuels educational opportunities. To date, AMCFF has awarded nearly $1.5 million in scholarships to over 1,400 students, driving generational change in some of the most underserved communities in the San Fernando Valley.

"We are proud to bring this major event to Southern California, as it underscores our unwavering commitment to supporting disadvantaged students from the East San Fernando Valley. Through this festival, we can provide much-needed financial resources that empower these students to pursue higher education and achieve their dreams," said Brian De La Rosa, Board President of the Andrés y María Cárdenas Family Foundation.
