United for a Good Cause Inc., a tax exempt 501(c) (3) organization, invites you to be part of HISPANIC FEST 2017 (HF17) “Our Folklore, Our Music, Our Food….Our Gifts to the World!
The festival is the largest indoor Hispanic event in our region and is a family-oriented, cultural and educational event showcasing variety music, folkloric dances, arts/crafts, and the flavors and aromas of our delicious cuisine.
Last year over 2,000 people attended, we had more than 60 vendors, great Hispanic and non-Hispanic entertainment, plenty to do for the kids, plus a wonderful “Art Gallery,” which displayed over 60 art pieces from local area artists and art students. Our food vendors ranged from all over Latin America and even Jamaica!
Hispanic Fest is a fundraiser and benefits our Annual Emerald Coast Christmas Miracle Needy Children’s Fiesta! Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, vendors, and attendees, HF16 generated funds that helped us host more than 1,800 children and their families last December! The EC Christmas Miracle is an “EVERYTHING IS FREE” Party which we have organized since 2005!
HF17 will be even better and your sponsorship will help us provide hundreds of Emerald Coast children a chance to have a Merry Christmas this year. Go to our website for pictures and video: www.unitedforagoodcause.org
HF17 is scheduled for Sunday, September 10, 2017, from 11am – 9pm, at the Emerald Coast Convention Center on Okaloosa Island. We invite you to become one of our corporate sponsors. In-kind sponsorships, to include media sponsorships, are welcomed. The deadline for sponsorships is August 31st. After the deadline, we will consider sponsorships on a case-by-case basis.
All businesses, service agencies, and other entities interested in reaching out to all that attend, including the growing Hispanic community of the Emerald Coast and NW Florida Region are welcomed! Deadline for vendors’ entries is September 6th.
