The Mia Becar Foundation
Created through the luxury shoe company, Mia Becar, Founder and Creative Director, Betzabe Gonzalez, partnering with The California Community Foundation, The Mia Becar Foundation is dedicated to supporting entrepreneurial women all over the world. A personal responsibility of giving back to society has been a life-long passion of Betzabe while her limitless visions of inspiring women have become a reality through the foundation.
“It has been my lifelong passion to give back to my community. From the moment we started The Adrian and Betsy Gonzalez Foundation in 2008, and still today, and continuing in 2020 with The Mia Becar Foundation, giving back is part of us.”
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
