Defying the Odds: 18th Annual Scholarship Dinner
The annual Defying the Odds Scholarship Dinner is our biggest single fundraiser of the year. IMPACT awards are presented each year to those who have been especially impactful through their service to San Miguel Program. Thank you to everyone who attended this year’s dinner on Thursday, September 29, 2022. Together, we are breaking the cycle of poverty for the students of San Miguel Program!
