What a beautiful time we had on Saturday, June 8! We are so grateful to all of you who were able to share Noche de Amor 2024 — A Benefit for Health Justice with us, including all who could not join us in person but offered your support — your fellowship was felt and appreciated. 

As you know, this year we piloted a brand new approach to fundraising rooted in community-centered principles. We’re so pleased by the positive feedback and the number of people who donated at the event and, more than anything, by the inclusive spirit that we felt.

We have raised just over $300,000 and came close to our Fund-A-Need goal. If you would like to help us get to that goal, you can still do so by going here

We also want to thank our remarkable sponsors for their crucial support, our wonderful mistress of ceremony Ariel Kelley, our moving and wonderful speakers Stephanie Sosa Manrique and Bernice ‘bere’ Espinoza, and our exceptional musical talent, The Curtis Family C-Notes and Mónica María — You all bring the community to community celebration, and it’s both powerful and beautiful when we gather together!
