Help Us Bring High School Mariachi Students to WSU!

Mariachi Leones del Monte is on a mission to support and uplift the next generation of mariachi musicians. We are raising funds to bring high school mariachi students from across Washington State to WSU Pullman for an unforgettable experience where they will explore college opportunities, engage in mariachi workshops, and connect with mentors and academic resources.

Your support will help cover travel, lodging, and program costs, ensuring that these students—many of whom may not have considered college as an option—have access to this transformative experience.

Why Donate?

Empower young musicians to explore higher education
Strengthen mariachi culture and community connections
Provide mentorship and resources for future college students

Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to making this event possible. Thank you for supporting the future of mariachi and education! ¡Gracias!
