Education remains one of the biggest challenges and greatest aspirations for immigrant families, with children often facing unique hurdles in accessing quality schooling and opportunities for advancement. For many young immigrants and first-generation students, the pursuit of education is not just a personal goal but a pathway to greater security and opportunity. In support of these students, Latin Americans Working for Achievement (LAWA) has created a community of encouragement and financial aid through their annual Gala for Education, which funds LAWA’s Scholarship Program.
On March 22nd, 2025, at The Casey in Charlotte, NC, LAWA invites the community to join in celebrating the accomplishments of their scholarship recipients and to recognize the contributions of their sponsors and community partners. With your support, the Gala aims to build on last year’s success, which brought together 290 attendees and raised over $105,000. Join LAWA for an evening dedicated to the future of Latin American students and the enduring power of education.
Our annual Gala for Education serves as LAWA’s premier fundraising event, dedicated to supporting our Scholarship Program. This evening allows us to celebrate our Scholarship recipients while also acknowledging our esteemed Sponsors and Community Partners. Last year, we welcomed 290 attendees and successfully raised over $105,000, thanks to the generous contributions from our supporters.
We will celebrate our Gala for Education on March 22nd, 2025, at The Casey (122 Thrift Road, Suite C, Charlotte, NC 28208) and you are invited to join us!
