Meet the movers and shakers of the Las Margaritas Golf Club in Las Cruces!

Each year, this incredible group of women hosts the Las Margaritas Golf Tournament and other community events to raise funds for the Project Link Homeless Education Program (McKinney-Vento), supporting students in Las Cruces Public Schools.

Today, these remarkable women met with our Federal Programs team and presented a check for $7,347 to help ensure students experiencing homelessness have the resources they need to succeed.

Project Link works to improve educational outcomes by providing tutoring, school supplies, hygiene essentials, snacks, clothing and other critical supports that help students stay engaged and thrive in school.

Thank you, Las Margaritas Golf Club, for your unwavering generosity and dedication to our students!

Special thanks to Linda Peterson, Jennifer Trujillo, Cecile Sayah, Kathrine Natzke and Ana DeCoste.
