3rd Hispanic-Latino Heritage Gala

Welcome to the Splendor of Southern Skies! 

We are thrilled to extend our heartfelt invitation to the third gala of the Latin American coalition. This year, we shine a spotlight on the Southern Cone, celebrating not only its breathtaking landscapes but also the warmth and beauty of its people from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. 

As fellow Latinos, we cherish the bonds that unite us and revel in the diversity of our shared experiences. Join us for an unforgettable night of celebration, unity, and empowerment at the 3rd HISPANIC–LATINO HERITAGE GALA, a fundraising event dedicated to supporting the vital work of the Immigrant Legal Center (ILC) of the Latin American Coalition. 

Our gala theme, inspired by the purity of the Southern Cone skies, invites you to witness the breathtaking spectacle of the Milky Way, the vivid hues of sunset, and the luminous starlit nights. It’s a celebration of the celestial beauty that unites our region.
