The 6th Annual South Side Unidos (SSU) Reunion Block Party will be held this year on Saturday, July 23rd at South 2nd (between Havemeyer & Roebling Sts.) 12pm-8pm.
Do you ever wonder where the money comes from to fund this amazing event??
It doesn't come from the government or from city funds, it comes from organizations like ours and our loyal supporters. THANK YOU
This is a Community event, we are seeking contributions to help provide a multitude of activities this year, ALL funds raised go directly toward the event.
Generous donors like you are the key to our success and make it possible for South Side Unidos to provide local individuals and families a fun and safe place to spend a summer day, with old friends and new ones alike.
Where does your money go? (GREAT question)
We usually hold 3 Fundraisers a year, this year we were ONLY able to host 2, we rely solely on door donations to further us in our target goal, raffles and also t-shirt sales to help boost our efforts. So we must take into account our expenses as well, we provide raffled item(s), we provide appetizer type foods, we have to pay to get shirts we sell. This cuts into our donated funds, but we do this SOLELY as a LABOR of LOVE, so we give because in the end, we ALL want the same thing…. To keep us Latinos UNIDOS, relevant and present and this is YEAR 6!!! I think that says success right there!!
The face of the neighborhood may have changed drastically, but we are the faces and pioneers of Los Sures, we can say with pride WE SURVIVED, and we are STILL HERE!
For this year’s event we have a target goal of $5,000, so far thankfully we have collected $2,653.24, we are still in need of roughly $2,300.
We want to make sure we have sufficient food this year to feed the masses, provide bouncy houses, face painting, popcorn, cotton candy, balloon art, water, juices, DJ, entertainment, a tribute and so many more surprises. But this vision requires money and with what we have we will be stretching it as is.
Please use this link to donate online:

Or contact one of the Committee members with any help you may be willing to provide: some of your time, talents, resources, water/juice donations, food, donations of goods to raffle, no one thing is “not enough” or appreciated/needed.
Thank you in advance, we thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
South Side Unidos Committee
