The Puerto Rican and Hispanic Day Parade of Western New York Association invites everyone to the 13th Annual Flag Raising Ceremony to be held Thursday, September 3rd at 12 noon in front of Buffalo City Hall. The Association sponsors events that are celebrations inclusive of all Hispanics. This year’s theme is “Orgullo De Nuestras Raíces/Proud of our Roots”. This theme will touch the hearts of everyone in our Hispanic Community as we all come together to celebrate and take pride in our various cultures. Robert “Bob” Unanue, Goya President has been named the 2015 Grand Marshal. The Unanue family has not only made Goya a household name in all our homes, it is a family that has given so much to our community. We thank Bob for his abundant support and being a part of our community as he continues to grow the legacy of his family. Tamara O. Alsace, Evelyn Pizarro, Jose C. Pizarro and Blanca Rodriguez have been named the 2015 Honorary Hosts, for their dedication and passion as long-standing community advocates through-out Western New York. At this year’s Flag Raising Ceremony, we will also be recognizing Linda A. Pellegrino, of WKBW Channel 7 with a Community Service Award.
