2025 Enlace de Familias Gala Info
Enlace de Familias’ 31st Annual Gala: “Leaders in Action: The Power of Community”
Friday, November 14, 2025 | 5:30–11:00 pm | Holyoke, MA
For 31 years, Enlace de Familias has stood as a pillar of support in Holyoke, uplifting families, empowering youth, and strengthening the fabric of our community. Each year, our gala brings together neighbors, leaders, and friends to celebrate resilience, joy, and the collective power of community.
Last year’s celebration was unforgettable with inspiring speeches, lively dancing, raffles, and the warmth of shared community spirit. This year, we invite you to join us once again for an evening filled with entertainment, connection, and purpose.
Your participation will directly support Enlace’s year-round youth programming and operations, including mentorship, peer leadership training, and civic engagement initiatives that prepare the next generation to lead with courage and vision. Together, we can continue serving over 9,000 families and youth each year, building pathways of opportunity and hope.
Come celebrate with us and be part of the movement, because when leaders rise, communities thrive.
For over 31 years, Enlace de Familias has been a trusted community anchor in Holyoke, walking alongside families as they overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and create lasting change.
Each year, our gala celebrates the resilience and power of community while raising the vital funds that sustain our youth programming and year-round operations.
This year, we are setting an ambitious goal of $40,000 to strengthen Enlace’s youth initiatives and core programs that serve more than 9,000 residents annually. Your sponsorship will directly support mentorship, leadership development, and civic engagement opportunities for youth, while also helping families access housing, victim services, and community resources year-round.
By becoming a sponsor, you not only gain visibility as a leader in community change, but you also invest directly in the future of Holyoke. From our Champion of Community sponsorship to our Community Allies level, every contribution brings us closer to building a stronger and more vibrant community.
Together we will celebrate, uplift, and empower our families and youth.
