What is the Gala de Oro? The Gala de Oro is the Latino Community Association's largest annual fundraiser. The gala celebrates Latino Cultures and is structured as a plated dinner and dance with a live band. The event will have a live auction, raffle ticket sales, and paddle raise to help us reach out goal of $105,000. Volunteers are so important to making this event a success - thank you for supporting with this event!
Fantastic volunteers needed to help with the Paddle Raise during the Gala de Oro! The Paddle Raise is one of the ways we raise money for LCA at the Gala. Volunteers will track guests' bidder numbers during the paddle raise so their donations will be tracked for processing later. Training in DonorView, the event software, is required before the event. You will receive more details about the training prior to the Gala.
