Calendar of Events

We look forward to celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with you! The decision to move online was carefully made in order to reduce in-person contact as we usually have over 500 people celebrating with nuestra comunidad.

Felicitaciones to our 2020 Latino Awards honorees!

Best Latino Restaurant: Juana Soto, Owner of El Girasol Restaurant & Tienda
Latino Leader: Melvin Colón, Park West Church Pastor of Care
Latino Ally: Catholic Charities of East Tennessee
Special Recognition: Liliana Burbano, Knox County Public Health Planner

The gala will feature an awards ceremony, a multi-day silent auction, entertainment, a virtual happy hour networking event and even some delicious at-home recipes!

The Virtual Gala is Centro Hispano’s main fundraising effort to support our vision of every Latino and Latina in East Tennessee thriving culturally, educationally and economically through our programming in workforce development, youth and family engagement and community resources. This year, our work has increased and adapted as we have continued normal programming virtually and created new content to educate our community as to how they can stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

100% of sponsorship contributions allow us to continue providing our essential programming.

¡Nos vemos en septiembre!
