Fiesta of Hope 2023 | Recap

Fiesta of Hope 2023, our annual fundraising gala, was held on Friday, June 16 at Castaway Portland. The beautiful venue hosted us for a night of celebration with great food by Tamale Boy, delicious wine, a specialty cocktail, and fantastic music by Y La Bamba and DJ Blas. Not only did we have the opportunity to reflect on and acknowledge our accomplishments, but we also looked ahead at our upcoming program Esperanza and the immense impact it will bring to the Latine community in Oregon.

Esperanza offers culturally & linguistically responsive and holistic mental health services that reduce biases about mental health and lead to healthy lives, strong families, and community resilience for our participants. We are taking an integrative and holistic approach to move Esperanza to foster whole-family, two-generation support to prevent and intervene in the conditions of trauma, reducing the risk of the continuation of generational trauma.

Thank you to everyone who supported us by coming to Fiesta of Hope 2023! With your contributions, we've raised over $200,000 to empower more Latina leaders in Oregon. A special thanks to NW Natural for being our presenting sponsor. Thank you to all our sponsors for making this event possible. Our team has already started planning Fiesta of Hope 2024! We hope to see you next year. Muchas Gracias!
