Milwaukee, WI - On Sunday night, the organizers of Sunday's Taquiza Por Guatemala in Milwaukee's Southside confirmed that they raised $20,308.70, despite the 57° (real feel 49°) temperature and rainy/drizzle day, which didn't keep people from stopping at the Taquiza to contribute and buy tacos and food including beverages to benefit the victims of Guatemala's Volcano de Fuego eruption that claimed more than 80 lives.
The Taquiza Por Guatemala was held at the PNC Bank parking lot on S. 16th Street and W. National Ave. from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Milwaukee.
The donations generated will be turned over to the local American Red Cross to help provide aid for the victims of Guatemala, according to the Taquiza organizers.
