Over 600 people gathered, to participate in the 11th annual Andres y Maria Cardenas Family Foundation Scholarship Breakfast.

The Andrés y María Cárdenas Family Foundation was founded in 1997 to award scholarships to deserving and ambitious students, to contribute to community-based, non-profit organizations that provide needed services, and to supplement limited resources for cultural, educational and recreational programs in the San Fernando Valley.

Believing that no student should ever be denied the opportunity to pursue their dreams through a collegiate or vocational school experience, the Andrés y María Cárdenas Family Foundation has embarked on an aggressive crusade to raise scholarship funds for needy and deserving students from the San Fernando Valley.

With support of local business' and special donation items from this year's event Master of Ceremonies, Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan, we were able to raise enough money to give away over $100,000.00 in scholarships to deserving San Fernando Valley students. Adding to this years success was the donation of a Polytechnic High School alumni.

Through his support combined with the Andres y Maria Cardenas Family Foundation, Poly High School Students recieved over $25,000 in scholarships this year.

This star studded event included newly elected San Fernando Valley Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, Senator Alex Padilla and Los Angeles City Councilman Tony Cardenas. For more history on the Andres y Maria Cardenas Family Foundation, please log on to www.cardenasfoundation.org.
