Latin pop & Christian music group, “Son by 4” and music ministry “Hermanos Fuego Nuevo,” will be performing in a concert fundraiser benefiting the Jethsuby Scholarship Fund of the Catholic Foundation on October 16, 2010, at the Special Events Center in Garland. Funds raised will support scholarships to cover Catholic school tuition for Hispanic elementary students.

“Son by 4” earned International acclaim in 2000 when their single, the Spanish “A Puro Dolor,” was released. The song reached number one on the Latin Billboard charts, staying there for 20 weeks. The band changed their music style to Christian in 200?, and have since released three Christian music albums – “Aqui Esta el Cordero,” “Musica & Palabra Vol. 1 ,” and the most recent, “Abbanuestro.”

Dr. and Mrs. Mauricio Delgado created the Jethsuby Scholarship Fund through The Catholic Foundation in December 2009, and eight scholarships were given in 2010 to Hispanic elementary school children attending Catholic schools in the Diocese of Dallas. Scholarships will cover up to 50 percent of tuition costs.

Dr. Delgado’s ultimate goal is to raise $1 million over the next two years to establish an endowment that will enable the scholarship fund to continue in perpetuity, providing scholarships from the endowment. The Jethsuby Scholarship Fund is open to donations from anyone interested in helping Hispanic students attend Catholic elementary school. Donations can be made to The Catholic Foundation, 5310 Harvest Hill Rd., Suite 248, Dallas, TX 75230.

Director of neurology at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and professor of neurology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Dr. Delgado named the scholarship fund after a child he knew whom he thought would have benefited tremendously from attending Catholic school. A son of Mexican immigrants, Jethsuby died at the age of 11 years in a motor vehicle accident. Dr. and Mrs. Delgado decided to help other children interested in attending Catholic school whose families faced financial obstacles, in honor of Jethsuby.

St. Elizabeth School requests that we as a school community join the Most Reverend Kevin J. Farrell, D.D., Bishop of Dallas in his support of this worthy fundraiser. You may purchase tickets online at http://www.specialeventscenter.com/. Ticket prices range from $50-$20.
