Celebrating 15 Years

Looking Back: A Daughter’s Perspective

15th Anniversary Celebration at Mexican Heritage Plaza
The Castellano Family Foundation, which is my family’s foundation, just recently celebrated its 15th anniversary. This is such a huge milestone for my family and I can’t help but reminisce on not just the past years, but my parents very humble beginnings as champions for the Latino Community.

Now that the Castellano Family Foundation is celebrating its 15th year, we debuted something truly special at the Mexican Heritage Plaza on June 23, 2017 during the celebration.
