As we wrap up September, we invite everyone to show their support for Childhood Cancer Awareness by wearing yellow or gold this Friday, September 27. By wearing yellow or gold, we show our support for children and families battling cancer and honor the memory of one of our own, Camila Menchaca. Let's come together to make a powerful statement of support and love.

This rare annual event in Laredo was both educational and memorable, offering insights not often available to the community.
