8th Annual Latina Center Maria Gala & Award Ceremony
May 10 @ 7:00 pm EDT
We are inviting to all of you to the 8th Annual Gala Fundraiser, and the ‘Special Recognitions, and Inspirational Mother & Woman 2023’ Awards Ceremony. This event will be held on Friday, May 10th at 7:00 pm at Spinelli’s Lynnfield (10 Newbury St. Peabody, MA).
Mother’s Day Gala serves as a fundraiser event aimed at supporting the mission of the Latina Center to empower these mothers, who are often unseen heroines, marginalized by Anglo society due to their lack of English proficiency. The gala is dedicated to raising funds for scholarships that will enable these Latino mothers to continue their education and further their personal and professional development. Through the scholarships provided by the Mother’s Day Gala, these mothers will have the opportunity to access resources and support that will help them overcome barriers and pursue their educational goals. These scholarships will open doors for these mothers and empower them to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
