January 8, 2016

Under the slogan 'Changing Lives through Education' Becas Vallarta has sponsored thousands of young Vallartenses through junior high, high school, university, and even medical school, for over 50 years.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - For years, many of these wonderful Vallarta businesses have contributed raffle prizes and silent auction gifts for our breakfasts. Plus, thank you to the newer businesses that have recently made prize contributions.

A heartfelt Becas thank you to:
