CELEBRATING LATINO CULTURE WHILE SUPPORTING EDUCATION
JOIN US FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EVENING CELEBRATING LATINO CULTURE WHILE SUPPORTING EDUCATION
Our Annual Latino Night Fundraising Gala is more than a celebration—it is an opportunity to change lives. Each year, we bring together compassionate individuals, community leaders, professionals, and supporters who believe that every child deserves access to education and the opportunity to build a brighter future. Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and donation made helps provide children in underserved communities with the resources they need to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
We invite you to join us on Friday, September 11, from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. at the beautiful Falls Church Marriott Fairview Park for an unforgettable evening of culture, entertainment, and purpose. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, you’ll enjoy an elegant VIP reception, a delicious dinner, live music, captivating performances, a silent auction, dancing, and many special surprises—all while making a meaningful investment in the future of children through education. Together, we can celebrate the richness of Latino culture and create lasting opportunities that extend far beyond one unforgettable night.
Our gala will include a VIP reception, a 3-course plated dinner, live music, captivating performances, a silent auction, professional DJ, hora loca and much more!
