The mission of the San Diego Cesar E. Chavez Commemoration Committee is to embody the principles and values of Cesar E. Chavez by educating and empowering the San Diego Community and its youth through building diverse relationships that develop socially responsible civic activism and community service.
The San Diego Cesar E. Chavez Commemoration Committee is appreciative of the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians for their continued support as the title sponsor of our events and for the Latina Latino and Indigenous Peoples Unity Coalition for graciously serving as the 2008 Fiscal Sponsor. The SDCECC Committee would not be able to accomplish it's mission without the dedication of their community volunteers who meet throughout the year to plan and organize the commemorative events. |
