A Quinceañera in Ft. Lauderdale in January.  A homecoming in Miami in February.  Latinos Salud invites you to celebrate an amazing 15 years of service through these two special events.

The agency opened in a small space on Wilton Drive 15 years ago.  Executive Director Dr. Stephen Fallon said that “Our little agency that opened its doors in 2009 has really grown in recent years, with more services helping more people.”  Today, Latinos Salud’s four South Florida locations serve well over 10,000 LGBTQ community members each year.

With everything from testing and screening, PrEP and vaccines, and now a new Youth Services program, a Health & Culture program, and this year, Pride Scholarships, Latinos Salud is here to help everyone.

The two gala events will commemorate these efforts while celebrating the community.

The Broward Quinceañera event will kick off on Saturday, January 13th with a VIP reception up on the seaside rooftop at the Westin Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort, starting at 6 PM.  Entry to the main event for everyone begins at 7 PM with a full plated dinner, open bar, live music, silent auction, and surprises.

The Broward event’s theme colors will be pink, traditional for a Quinceañera, and crystal, the gem for a 15th anniversary.  Rafaelé Narváez, Latinos Salud’s Director of Health Programs invites everyone to “Come dressed in crystal, pink, or both!  Or you can just choose a splash of pink or crystal to accentuate your outfit: a pocket square, tie, or even your socks.”  Whether holding VIP or regular tickets, this Gala will kick off 2024 in high style.

VIP ticket holders will also receive a “benefit in a box,” personally delivered before the event to their home or office, with tasty goodies and fun swag.  They’ll also get free valet parking, and access to two additional special plated dinner options.

The Miami-Dade Gala will be held on Saturday, February 10th.  Miami-Dade Senior Health Program Manager Johnathan Medina described how “We’re calling this event, ‘The Reveal,’ because it will be held in the agency’s upgraded space in Miami’s SW.  (We’ll announce the address in mid-January).”  The Miami Gala will open with an outdoor party leading to a grand welcome to the agency’s new, large SW location, just renovated with all the style that visitors are used to encountering each time they enter any other Latinos Salud location.

“The Reveal” will feature passed hors d’oeuvres, live music, and dancing, plus a front-row chance to tour the new space and meet the agency’s growing staff.

Everyone who attends will feel the kindness, energy, and passion of this dedicated agency.

Can’t decide which Gala to attend?  Why not come to both?  Latinos Salud is offering $50 off ticket prices to its Broward Quinceañera for guests who first book their ticket to the February 10th Miami Gala: “The Reveal.

15 years of growth, community spirit, and lives changed.  Latinos Salud has come of age!
