communities through adult
education and literacy.”
“KICKIN’ ILLITERACY OUT OF
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY” To Whom It May Concern:
I am extremely excited and honored to have been chosen by The Rio Grande Valley Literacy Center (RGVLC) as the Event Chair for the 9 th Annual RGVLC Boots & Bling Gala. This year our theme will be, “Kickin’ Illiteracy Out of the RGV” Please join me as we honor the communities, supporters and the students of the RGVLC. Tis event will recognize the individuals who have fought the odds and have successfully completed one of the RGVLC programs. While you enjoy your dinner, you will hear the stories of the positive impacts the RGVLC has had in the lives of the students that go through the programs.
The success of these students is all due to the selfless contributions of the RGVLC’s Board of Directors, the staff and event sponsors towards the annual Boots & Bling Gala. Come out and enjoy a fun filled evening of dancing to great country music, a delicious dinner prepared by Chef Daniel at The Radisson and bid on fabulous auction items that contribute 100% to the financial support of the RGVLC. The RGVLC began as the “Pharr Literacy Project” with one building in Pharr, Texas – and has grown to fifteen locations. The purpose for the center is to educate the adult communities in cities throughout the RGV – Edinburg, Pharr, McAllen, Mercedes, Peñitas, San Juan and Weslaco. All locations provide the following programs: GED (both in English & Spanish), English as a secondary language, computer literacy, English Club and U.S. Naturalization Classes.
I humbly ask that you review our Sponsorship Packet and consider being a sponsor for a great cause. Your participation and support to continue educating our communities will be greatly appreciated by not only the RGVLC, but by our community as well.
RGVLC honors and acknowledges our sponsors and their business’. Please consider being a part of this year’s annual event and be a contributor in making a positive difference by Kickin’ Illiteracy out of the Rio Grande Valley.
Sincerely,
Norma Guevara
2021 Boots & Bling Event Chair

Your contribution is used to address the following :
▪ According to the Texas Center for the Advancement of Literacy and Learning, Hidalgo County
has an illiteracy rate of 50%.
▪More than 65 % of all state and federal corrections inmates can be classified as low literate or
illiterate.
▪The National Institute of Health reports that the greatest factor in a child’s educational achievement, is not the school they attend or the neighborhood they live in but the education of
their mother.
▪Low-literate parents, particularly mothers, are more likely to exert a positive influence on their
children’s academic achievement when they are able to enhance their own literacy skills (Office Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) of the U.S. Department of Education). ▪According to 2013 Census Data, 38% of adults do not posses a high school diploma. If the current
adult population for Hidalgo County is approximately 550,000, that is 209,000 people. ▪ According to the Intercultural Development Research Association, the current drop-out rate for
Hidalgo County is 32%.
▪High school dropouts are less likely to find a job and earn a living wage, and more likely to be
poor and suffer from a variety of adverse health outcomes (Rumberger, 2011). ▪ High school dropouts are more likely to rely on public assistance, engage in crime and generate
other social costs borne by taxpayers (Belfield & Levin, 2007).
