Álvaro R. Obregón - Punch #35
Leadership, passion & vision!
“As a lifelong resident of Pilsen and proud graduate of Benito Juarez it is an honor to run for LSC as a community representative.
The issue of education is a passion for me because I know the potential that the youth of Pilsen have. I continue
to live and work in Pilsen at The Resurrection Project. As a leader in the Pilsen Education Task Force I have been
working closely with community organizations, public & catholic schools, colleges & universities, as well as parents to
improve the quality of education provided to our youth.”
Alvaro is one of the founders of the Resurrection Basketball League serving hundreds of youth every summer in Pilsen;
Chairman of the Chicago Police Department’s District Advisory Committee (12th District); member of several Boards
(Chicago Symphony Orchestra, National-Louis University’s Proyecto Comunidad, Gidwitz Center for Urban Policy &
Community Development, Mexican Dance Ensemble, and Sones de Mexico). He was awarded Bank of America’s
Neighborhood Excellence Initiatives Local Hero Award, and the Outstanding Citizen Award from the Illinois Association
of Chiefs of Police
