Music. Memories. Dancing.

Honoring our history. Unveiling our future.

Gala de Esperanza Recap:

Nearly 250 friends, fans and partners of El Buen Samaritano came together on Friday, April 20, 2012 to celebrate 25 years of a mission of hope. Through the beautiful evening, our guests enjoyed cocktails presented by Deep Eddy Vodka, a sit-down dinner by 34th Street Catering and a stellar commemorative video created by Core Media Enterprises. We capped off the night under the stars with dessert, drinks, a salsa lesson from Esquina Tango and enjoyed the Latin rhythms of Son y No Son.

Aside from being highlighted in numerous online publications, the Gala de Esperanza was featured in Latinometro.com, Austin360 and the Austin Chronicle. Be on the lookout for an article in the Austin American-Statesman and West Austin News, highlighting our 25th anniversary, coming out soon!
