Hispanic Business/Professional Association of Spokane (HBPA)

The Hispanic Business/Professional Association of Spokane (HBPA) is a nonprofit organization supporting today's rapidly growing and highly diversified Hispanic business community and community as a whole.

On behalf of the entire membership of HBPA, I'd like to welcome you to our homepage. HPBA is a diverse group of individuals dedicated to civic involvement, business enhancement, and educational opportunities for Hispanic students from across the state of Washington.

We support and promote Hispanic businesses and professionals in our Spokane Community and invite you to join us in being a part of a great venue for entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals from diverse backgrounds.

In expressing an appreciation for our culture, we promote and sponsor events that invite others to learn about our rich diversity. Our only annual fundraiser, Viva Vino, a yearly wine tasting and auction event, (this year April 21st @ The Red Lion at The Park), raises money to enable us to provide scholarships at our Annual Graduation Ceremony held at Spokane Community College (this year May 3rd, 2012). The yearly Hispanic Heritage Festival in August (this year August 4th, 2012) brings our community together to a celebration of music, art, and of course, great food.

Since 1995 HBPA has been dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for Hispanic students. We recognize the scholastic achievement of our areas high school, college and university graduates as well as our young scholars. Through donations and monies raised from Viva Vino, scholarships are awarded to deserving students for college.

For this endeavor we need your help. We encourage you to join, donate to our scholarship fund, or volunteer your time to making Spokane and Eastern Washington a better place.

We encourage all races, colors, and creeds to join our organization.
We meeting monthly as an organization and encourage you to meet our members.

If you have any questions about our organization you can always contact me at hbpaspokane@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Bernadette Pillar

HBPA President
