Latino Student Fund Annual Gala

The Latino Student Fund’s Annual Gala is our biggest fundraiser of year and we are thrilled to host it at the Washington National Cathedral. 

We look forward to spending an evening enjoying cocktails, a seated dinner, and silent and live auctions. In addition to fundraising for the LSF programs, we are delighted to share with you our goal of providing opportunities for a strong academic foundation to underserved students.
