Join us as the Latin American Coalition celebrates 35 incredible years of building community, empowering voices, and creating opportunities!
We’re gathering on June 21st at 6 PM at The Ruth (2122 Thrift Road, Suite C, Charlotte, NC 28208) for a special night where we’ll honor our past and set the tone for the next 35 years of impact and growth.
In the spirit of celebrating our journey, we invite you to bring a touch of the 1990s to your outfit! Whether it’s a pop of color, vintage denim, or a throwback accessory, let’s have some fun and honor the decade when our story began.
Expect an evening full of music, memories, and inspiration as we celebrate all we’ve achieved together — and dream even bigger for the future.
Let’s celebrate the past, live the present, and build the future — together.
