Esperanza Gala 2022

We gathered in celebration of a meaningful milestone, five years of inspiring hope.

The 2022 Esperanza Gala marked a special moment in our journey. An evening filled with purpose, reflection, and gratitude, as we looked back on the lives touched and the communities transformed over the past five years.

Guests experienced powerful moments throughout the night. From the heartfelt words of Coni Sipac, whose leadership continues to shape and strengthen the communities we serve, to the recognition of Susan and Scott Salka as recipients of the Wings of Hope Award. Each moment was a reminder of the people who make this work possible.

We are especially grateful to our Gala Chairs, Alberto Perez and Marcela Santos, whose dedication and vision helped bring this evening to life.

Because of the generosity of our community, the funds raised will allow us to continue expanding our work across healthcare, community infrastructure, and education. The impact of this support reaches far beyond what we see in a single night. It lives on in safer homes, greater access to care, and new opportunities for the families we serve.

We invite you to relive the evening through photos and the video shared that night.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead. There are still opportunities to be part of this work firsthand. Our upcoming mission, Team Gratitude, will travel to Guatemala this December to install clean-air stoves and water filters and celebrate the holidays with the El Molino School community.

Thank you for being part of the past five years and for continuing to walk alongside us as we move forward.
