Team Zane Continues Legacy: Call For Charities

Commentary: Calling all charities that serve children in Las Cruces—it is your turn to jump into the fun of the Team Zane Celebrity Waiter annual fundraising event.  Jeffrey Silva, the father of the pint sized local hero for whom the event is named, is inviting local non-profits that serve children to be the host of the event for 2017.

“We thoroughly enjoyed working with Jardin de los Niños this past year,” says Silva.  “There are some big shoes to fill there.  But we want to continue the legacy of building a fun event for the public to participate in, and benefit a local charity.”  This year’s theme is “Revenge of the Nerds” and is slated for March 11, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. at the Las Cruces Convention Center. 

Charities who wish to host the event will now follow an application and interview process through the United Way.  Contact United Way office at 575-524-7561 or go to www.uwswnm.org/teamzaneapp for the application.

The deadline for entries is July 29 at 5:00pm. For more information, contact Jeffrey Silva at 505-263-5918.
