A Message from the Founder & Chairman

Dear Friends: 

TELACU is committed to building the dreams of our community. And this is why—for over a quarter of a century—partners like you have joined our Education Foundation in helping thousands of young people realize their Dream of higher education.

Each year, the Foundation provides 500 college students from underserved communities with both the vital financial resources and comprehensive support system they need to graduate and become leaders who make lasting, positive impact throughout all areas of society. The success of our Scholarship Program is unparalleled: 100% of our high school Scholars not only graduate, but they also go on to pursue a post-secondary education. And, 100% of our college seniors earn a Bachelors degree. Upon graduation, they return to their community and invest their time and skills in perpetuating the cycle of community empowerment.  

I invite you to partner with us in 2011 as we continue providing crucial resources to our Scholars in California, Illinois, Texas and New York. Click on the following links for additional information regarding our mission, accomplishments, and sponsorship opportunities for the 28th Annual Scholarship Awards Dinner, which will be held at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles on May 20, 2011. If you would like more information or have any questions, please call our Event Producer, Priscilla Lizárraga, at 323.721.1655.

On behalf of everyone associated with TELACU, we look forward to partnering with you in building the Dream for many more deserving young men and women. With your generous support, we can continue building stronger communities and a stronger America!  

Sincerely, 


David C. Lizárraga
Chairman and Founder
