WE RISE – Juntos Evolucionamos was an evening dedicated to purpose and reinvention, honoring women, allies, and leaders who create opportunities and uplift others. The event highlighted the collective power of rising as one to strengthen our community.
Deep gratitude to Senator Luz Escamilla for sharing an inspiring, community-centered message, to Rossina Lake from RC2 Communications for shining a light on the power of reinvention, and to our Emcee, Danette Acosta from Latino 106.3 FM, for guiding the evening with warmth and professionalism.
We were delighted with the majestic performance of Tablado Flamenco Utah and a delectable South American Dinner by Square Kitchen. Grateful for everyone that join us!
