The Pan American Association of Philadelphia is excited to announce that it will hold its 81st Annual Following instructions and recommendations from local, state, and federal authorities, the Pan American Day and Scholarship Luncheon scheduled for April 15, 2020 has been canceled.

Nonetheless, consistent with its mission to develop Latinx talent, The Pan American Association of Philadelphia, plans to complete the competitive process and will make the Alejandro Reyes, Irene Rivera Diaz and Carmelita Manning Community Service Awards–each worth $5,000, and the Janice Bond Awards for Graduating Seniors–each worth $250, by April 15. These awards will be distributed by mail to successful returning students and graduating seniors once the evaluation process currently underway has been completed.

We want to express our appreciation to our previously confirmed Luncheon Sponsors for their continued support during this challenging time:
