For the 2018-2019 year, and with the help of partners like Car Credit, the HPWA raised $10,000, awarded to nine mentees to further their education in local universities of Tampa Bay like University of South Florida, Sistema Universitario Ana G. Mendez, and more. The organization also saw record growth in memberships, mentors and mentees and it was a record-breaking year with scholarships, sponsors, and attendance.

The organization is lead by Catalina Botero, President of HPWA 2019-2020 and Nelcy Baltz, Immediate Past President. Ms. Balz believes it is their growth, legacy and community involvement that has earned the HPWA the Corazones de Car Credit award, and the organization plans to invest the money in their scholarship fund:
