The Palapa Society is a multi-cultural non-profit located in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life and offer a brighter future for local children and their families through scholarship and educational programs. We are at an exciting stage as we carry out our mission to build a full campus.
This Denver charity event will celebrate the opening of the new Palapa Learning Center, a 4-building campus to include a community library, English language acquisition, middle school, and high school. The buildings are nearing completion and will open this fall.
We are currently seeking funding for technology, scholarships, resources, and equipment which will ultimately serve over 120 students to receive a university-track education, not currently available to young scholars in Todos Santos, Mexico. Join us for an elegant, inspirational evening and help us support the future leaders of this community.

He has been a frequent visitor to Todos Santos since 2007, and this is his 4th time painting on location at GastroVino to benefit local causes. Robert has been honored to have won first place in the only art competition he ever entered: Arabella art magazine’s 2014 “Great Canadian Landscape Painting Competition.” His paintings hang in private and corporate collections around the world, and his work is represented by the Diaz Castro Galleria in La Paz.
