The Dan the Man Foundation has been
established and is now actively engaged in developing strategies to attain its
goals: The establishment of the Foundation Scholarship fund.
The Goal of The Dan “the Man” Segura
Foundation is to create awareness, to educate, and to advance Tejano culture
and the art of Tejano music in particular, and to
provide financial aid in the form of scholarships to deserving high school
graduates who seek careers in broadcasting, television and/or theatre arts.
These efforts will encourage
Tejano youth to discover and develop their own creative and cultural
values as they relate to Tejano music.
The Foundation is planning a major event
for December 19, 2009
The Event will feature top name Tejano
entertainers and a tribute ceremony to honor the memory of Daniel Segura and to
recognize the leaders of the community who have been instrumental in making the
endeavor a reality. At the time of Daniel’s passing, the outpouring of
sympathy and love from the Community was overwhelming, and as a gesture of
gratitude The Foundation plans to recognize those actions.
Dan Segura’s strong devotion to Tejano
music fostered many relationships at many levels to continue bridging the Tejano
heritage to its Mexican-American roots. The Foundation will therefore strive to
present the finest entertainment and provide the community with a star studded
event and fundraiser for the Dan the man Foundation scholarship fund.
