The Latino Faculty and Staff Association (LFSA) was established in 1970 on the campus of Fresno City College in Fresno, California. The LFSA’s purpose is to advocate for Latinos in higher education and to develop a nurturing and empowering community. LFSA is made up of faculty and staff who are dedicated to the success of our student population. We volunteer our time, talent, and resources to help produce tomorrow’s leaders. We have provided scholarships to students for 19 years. Our goal is to raise money for student scholarships to assist students with their educational endeavors.

On behalf of Fresno City College and LFSA, we are asking community-minded businesses to take the opportunity to make donations to help ensure our fundraiser’s success for this year’s 11th Annual “Raising the Glass for Latino Success” scholarship fundraiser. The State Center Community College Foundation is a 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax-deductible. Your support will help us award student scholarships and eliminate graduation costs for our Latino student population. Your participation and support will also be announced during the event, as well as the Latino Graduation Ceremony, and the Fresno City College Scholarship Ceremony.
