 Thank You for Making the LRAA 2025 Fundraising dinner
a Success!

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who attended, donated, performed, and supported the 2025 LRAA Fundraiser Dinner. Thanks to you, the night was a joyful celebration of community—with unforgettable music by Mystique, a powerful performance by Ballet Folklórico de Ricardo Velasquez, inspiring scholarship presentations, and the joy of reconnecting with old friends.

Your support helps us continue our mission of empowering local youth through scholarships and sports programs. ¡Gracias de corazón!
