The Puerto Rican Heritage Organization
Since 1992, the Elgin Puerto Rican Parade Committee hosted an annual parade and festival. In 2006, the group reinvented itself and became The Puerto Rican Heritage Organization (PRHO). Within months, it became an Elgin-based, tax-exempt non-profit organization and drafted a mission which states:

We impact the community by building a positive understanding of our heritage and culture through the promotion of education and advancement.

PRHO typically hosts several major events throughout the year:

BoriquaFest

Scholarship Pageant
Dignitary’s Dinner
Networking Mixers
Various cultural dances and events
