The Building the Beloved Community Gala is El Centro de la Raza's largest fundraising event of the year. Our annual event is planned as a live event, which will take place live at the Seattle Convention Center on October 11, 2025. It will include a reception, live music, Roberto Felipe Maestas Legacy Awards and Scholarship presentations, a powerful keynote, remarks from our executive director, an online auction, and more. Funds raised from the event directly support our community of over 21,000 vulnerable children, youth, families, and seniors who rely on our 43 programs and services each year!
