Jose Perez Self-Advocate Scholarship
Cal-TASH is proud to offer the Jose Perez Self-Advocate Scholarship. Jose was an ongoing presence at Cal-TASH. He loved to help out anyone and was a volunteer for the Cal-TASH opportunity drawings for more than 20 years. To help memorialize the passion that Jose brought to and shared at Cal-TASH conferences, part of the proceeds from each opportunity drawing will fund scholarships for self-advocates to attend future conferences.
