It is the Annual Frankie L. Chavez Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser. They will feature $10 Deep Pit BBQ Plates, drive thru will be available, live music, dancers, horseshoe and softball tournaments and more. The family formed the memorial nonprofit scholarship organization after their son Frankie and his friend Nathan Mata were killed in a car accident on December 4, 1993. Their goal is to raise money so they can award scholarships to Brawley Union High and Calipatria High School seniors who will be attending college. Last year the Foundation awarded $11,900 in scholarships to a total of 25 graduating seniors. In the past 24 years, they have awarded a total of $236,700 in scholarships.
