HISPANIC FEST 2017 had something for everyone!

United for a Good Cause Inc. hosted another outstanding festival to raise funds for the 13th Annual Emerald Coast Christmas Miracle Needy Children’s Fiesta!

Once again, more than 60 vendors, continuous variety entertainment, an awesome art gallery, kids’ activity zone and 13 food vendors’ booths took part.

Sylvia Vazquez said via the Fest’s Facebook site, “As a vendor and an individual it was a wonderful event. The other vendors, food, and entertainment were all excellent. Thank you and I look forward to representing Plexus at the event again next year.”

More than 2,000 people attended the Festival and had a great time.  United for a Good Cause’s leadership and members thank the Title Sponsor for the 3rd year in a row, ZT MOTORS, and the other sponsors, vendors, and all the volunteers and attendees for making this another special event.

Thanks to everyone that participated, more than $5,000.00 was raised which will now be used to plan, organize and execute the EVERYTHING IS FREE to all that attend 13th Annual Emerald Coast Christmas Miracle. On 17 December, the same venue, the beautiful EC Convention Center will host the Miracle Fiesta and over 2,000 children and families are expected to attend!

Thank you for helping us “put a smile on a needy child’s face this Christmas!”
