Pancho Claus 2023 Christmas Project
Donation protected
Pancho Claus is celebrating 41 years of putting smiles on children's faces. Last year, we distributed over 17,000 gifts in the Houston area, and expanded our gift-giving to the children of the Rio Grande Valley Area.
“The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) is home to over 900 'colonias,' which are unincorporated, impoverished settlements along the US-Mexico border. These settlements lack basic services, such as running water, electricity, and paved roads. (A. Gatta)”
The Pancho Claus Season includes performances, parades, personal appearances, gift-giving, etc.
Any funds raised past our Christmas Goal will be used year-round for further Pancho Claus programming.
Thank You & God Bless,
Pancho
