SQACC’s 12th Annual Dia de los Muertos celebration is a great success
Nov. 1, 2008: The 12th Annual Dia de los Muertos Fundraiser Celebration presented
by the Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center, Toledo, was a great success thanks to our
sponsors and our community supporters.

The entertainment was superb by Marta Gómez, the Mexican cuisine was excellent and
the Altars were extremely creative. This was an outstanding mixture that produced the best
Dia de los Muertos event so far.
The Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center Board wishes to thank our sponsors: Barbara
Winter, National City Bank, Adelante, Inc., The Andersons, LatinoFest, Mercy Health Partners, Ohlman Farm & Greenhouse Inc., Owens Corning, ProMedica Health, Huntington Bank, Lourdes College, Toledo Community Foundation, United Way, and Tate Funeral Home.

We also like to thank our partners: The YMCA of Greater Toledo, The Toledo Museum
of Art and Bowling Green State University. Special thanks for years of support, La Prensa and El Tiempo.
To those individuals who volunteered to help, we thank you for your contribution of
your time and energy. It is with no doubt that the Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center is
most great full to those that attended our event this year and in the past years. We could not have accomplished so much without such community support.

We hope to continue this proud tradition of presenting Dia de los Muertos for Latinos
and non-Latinos to see and enjoy. The Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center is always
seeking new partners, especially the youth to participate in this wonderful Mexican
celebration, to carry on this old heritage and custom with great honor and respect.
Thank you,
Joe Balderas and The Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center Board
