support Northern Colorado families

Fort Collins, CO — September 3, 2025 — The Family Center/La Familia (TFCLF), a
cornerstone nonprofit serving children and families in Northern Colorado for three
decades, is thrilled to announce its annual Fiesta fundraising gala. This year’s event
will take place on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 5:00–8:00 p.m. at The Lyric
Cinema in Fort Collins.

The Fiesta is the organization’s largest annual fundraiser and an unforgettable
celebration of culture, community, and resilience. Guests will enjoy an evening
filled with live Latin music by Salsa Forte, dancing, authentic food and drinks, and a
curated auction featuring one-of-a-kind experiences and local treasures.

“Fiesta is more than a party—it’s a celebration of the families who inspire us every
day,” said Gloria Kat, Executive Director of The Family Center/La Familia. “For 30
years, our center has stood alongside families as they build brighter futures, and
Fiesta brings the whole community together to ensure we can continue this vital
work for decades to come.”

The Family Center/La Familia provides early childhood education, family support
services, leadership development, and wellness programming that uplifts more
than 1,200 families each year. Proceeds from Fiesta will directly fund scholarships
for early childhood education and strengthen programs that address critical needs
in childcare, mental health, family support, and community leadership.
