Since 2004, the El Monte Coalition of Latino Professionals (emCLP) has organized a community fundraiser to recognize outstanding educators in the local community and raise money to help local students pay for college. Thanks to emCLP's initiative, each year more and more donors have been contributing to the TAMALADA's cause.

Today, the TAMALADA is helping the El Monte Promise Foundation raise money to support the Scholars Savings Program, and expand the program to help more and more families save money for college.

In honor of those who contributed to the TAMALADA we the El Monte Promise Foundation would like to thank these peoples, organizations, and businesses.

Many contributors for the TAMALADA are people and organizations from the community. This means, local teachers, school administrators, local businesses, private companies, foundations, and organizations are helping our community's students!
