Honoring a
great human being,
William Tumelty
A year ago this month we lost our founder of the Coachella Valley Pride Scholarship fund. Today we honor him and thank him for having the kindness to start a worthy and powerful fund.
A message from Lucio Bernal,
Founder & CEO at DSF.
Our decision to rebrand and create a 501c3 was a well thought out decision after 5 years fundraising for CVPSF, 111 awarded scholarships, and over $180,000 raised. Jon and I felt that by having our own 501c3, we will have a broader reach and ability to fund raise and have events. We look forward to your continued support in 2024 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Lucio Bernal
