“Last year, I had the honor of donating to Los Alazanas de Minnesota, and I’m bursting with pride knowing my contribution helped these incredible young women ride their way to the National Escaramuza competition in Texas. Watching them perform with such grace, strength, and cultural pride was a moment I’ll never forget. Their synchronized routines in those stunning adelita dresses showcased not just their equestrian skill but the heart of our Mexican heritage right here in Minnesota. My donation helped cover travel costs, ensuring these talented athletes could compete on a national stage, and seeing their success made every penny worth it. Los Alazanas isn’t just a team—they’re empowering young women, strengthening our community, and keeping charrería alive. I’m thrilled to support them again this year, and I encourage everyone to join me in backing their mission. Let’s keep these riders galloping toward greatness!”

“As a parent, watching my daughter ride with Los Alazanas de Minnesota has been one of the proudest moments of my life. Joining this Escaramuza team has transformed her—she’s grown into a confident, disciplined young woman who carries our Mexican heritage with every graceful move on horseback. Last year’s journey to the National competition in Texas was a dream come true for her, made possible by generous donors who believed in these girls. Los Alazanas isn’t just about riding; it’s about building leadership, teamwork, and cultural pride in Minnesota’s youth. I’m so grateful for this program and the community it creates. I urge everyone to donate and support Los Alazanas—your gift empowers our daughters to shine and keeps this beautiful tradition alive!”

“As a construction business owner deeply rooted in Minnesota’s Hispanic community, sponsoring Los Alazanas de Minnesota has been one of the most rewarding ways I’ve given back. Last year, I proudly matched funds for a full set of special Escaramuza boots for the team—ensuring these talented young women had the proper gear to perform with strength and precision. I also purchased raffle prizes from local businesses to donate to their fundraisers, helping pack the events with excitement and raising critical funds for their season. Watching the riders take the arena in those boots, full of grace, discipline, and cultural pride, reminded me why I believe in this program. Las Alazanas builds confidence, preserves our heritage, and empowers the next generation. I’m honored to support them and encourage every business owner to step up—your contribution keeps this tradition alive!”
