Thank you for helping us surpass our Fall fundraising goal!
October 24, 2025
Dear Friends and Supporters,
I am deeply moved and grateful to share that our Fall Fundraising Campaign was a tremendous success! Thanks to your generosity, and the incredible boost from our matching challenge, we not only met our goal, we surpassed it, raising over $10,000 to support our programs.
Every gift, large or small, helps us continue our mission of sharing the richness of Mexican music and culture, inspiring new generations, and keeping our traditions vibrant and alive.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed, and to our anonymous matching donor whose generosity doubled the impact of many of your gifts.
From all of us at Sones de México Ensemble: gracias de corazón for believing in our work and standing with us. Together, we’re making sure the music never stops.
With gratitude,
Juan Díes
Co-founder, Executive Director
