Ponte las pilas is a phrase deeply woven into everyday Spanish-speaking culture.

That spirit is at the heart of Firme DFWs mission: helping first-generation students put their batteries in by providing the scholarships, mentorship, and support they need to pursue their goals, build a better future, and make an impact in their communities. Every step in the Ponte las Pilas 5K helps us move that mission forward.
