Dear Communidad,

On October 22nd, we hope that you will join us. Come celebrate the stories that inspire us, honor the leaders who lift others, and invest in a future where every Latino has the opportunity to thrive.

Centro Hispano de East Tennessee’s Latino Awards Gala is a high-energy evening that honors Latino leadership, culture, and achievement across East Tennessee. Held each fall at the Mill & Mine, this event brings together hundreds of community leaders, artists, partner organizations, businesses, and families for one of the most vibrant nights of the year.

But the Latino Awards is more than just a great party. It supports critical programs that power opportunity. Nearly 200 Latino youth and their families are engaged each quarter in educational support, mentorship, and college access services; and over 1,000 adults are served annually through ESL, workforce training, and small business development.

We can't wait to celebrate with you!
