The one-of-a-kind painting will be unveiled at City Hall during the <span class=\"xn-location\">El Chavo<\/span> del <span class=\"xn-person\">Ocho Day<\/span> proclamation. In addition, and with the goal of further contributing to the growth of organizations that service the City&#8217;s Latino communities, the CMPB will be presenting a <span class=\"xn-money\">$4,000<\/span> donation each to two non-profit organizations to help with their programs during this back-to-school season \u2013 the Central City Neighborhood Partners (CCNP) in Pico-Union, and the Variety Boys and Girls Club in Boyle Heights. The <span class=\"xn-location\">El Chavo<\/span> artwork will be displayed at both community organizations partnering with the CMPB for this initiative. &#8220;I hope that when people see this artwork, it takes them back to happy moments they had while watching the show as a kid, or even now as an adult,&#8221; said Man One. This special work of art will ultimately be gifted to the Variety Boys and Girls Club. The Variety Boys and Girls Club is a nonprofit organization with a 67-year mission of providing innovative and stimulating academic, leadership and recreational programs to underserved youth in the Boyle Heights community.

As part of the commemorative activities, Toma Leche is creating <span class=\"xn-location\">El Chavo&#8217;s<\/span> signature <i>torta de jam\u00f3n<\/i> and pairing it with milk for a series of tasting events across <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span>. &#8220;We&#8217;re excited to offer consumers and fans of <span class=\"xn-location\">El Chavo<\/span> the authentic <i>torta de jam\u00f3n<\/i> for the first time.

Awareness of got milk? is over 90% nationally and it is considered one of the most important and successful campaigns in history. Got milk? is a federally registered trademark that has been licensed by the national dairy boards since 1995. The CMPB&#8217;s Spanish-language campaign began in 1994 using the tagline &#8220;Familia, Amor y Leche&#8221; (Family, Love and Milk). The TOMA LECHE (Drink Milk) campaign replaced it in 2006, in order to better align the English and Spanish language work. The CMPB is funded by all <span class=\"xn-location\">California<\/span> milk processors and administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.<\/p>\n<p><b><u>About Grupo Chespirito <br \/><\/u><\/b>Grupo Chespirito (GCH) is the team responsible for preserving and leading Roberto G\u00f3mez Bola\u00f1os&#8217; -aka Chespirito- legacy to the new generations, including his most famous characters: &#8216;<span class=\"xn-location\">El Chavo<\/span> del Ocho&#8217; and &#8216;El Chapul\u00edn <span class=\"xn-location\">Colorado<\/span>&#8216;.
