Ambassador Garza Presents Donations to Charity

During a check presentation ceremony on September 21, 2005, Ambassador Garza praised the businesses and private individuals who raised US $35,000 at the American Charity Tennis Classic on April 15.

Ambassador Garza presented checks to four charities that help disadvantaged Mexican youth: Manos que Ayudan (here Father Enrique Diaz Fernandez, director of Manos que Ayudan and several young beneficiaries pose with Amb. Garza), Prendetenis, The United Way, and the Center for Learning and Integrated Development, which encourages athletic activities for orphans and the handicapped.

“I am especially pleased to see business and the private sector work together to help needy young people secure their place on the playing field. The funds donated today by the American Charity Tennis Classic, raised through the hard work of volunteers and athletes, will help Mexican youth achieve their potential and benefit society,” said U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza.
