Resilient Roots, Bold Futures

Servicios de La Raza's annual Raíces Latinas fundraising gala is an extraordinary event in support of Colorado's most resilient communities. This special evening is more than a celebration—it’s a powerful gathering of community leaders, supporters, and changemakers dedicated to uplifting and empowering Coloradans from all walks of life.

A tribute to resilience, culture, and the unwavering spirit of those we serve, the Raíces Latinas Gala is a night to celebrate our community’s strength and collective impact. Dubbed "Chicano Prom," this is one of the town's can't-miss events! 

Thank you to our 2025 sponsors!
