Feel like hearing some good news for a change? Latinos Salud’s signature Gala this month will be a celebration of community resilience and big wins for community health, all expressed through stories, live performances and videos.
Over the past year, the federal government has targeted organizations and clinics that serve LGBT communities, minorities, or immigrants, by stripping grants and closing programs that serve these populations. Latinos Salud prioritizes all these community groups.
Despite major funding impacts that shook Latinos Salud, this past year, the non-profit LGBT health center actually increased its services, in every category. More people received HIV tests at Latinos Salud’s four locations, started on PrEP, got their STDs treated, received HIV care, accessed case management, received Pride Scholarships, got health insurance premium payment support, and enjoyed fun Health & Culture social events.
Latinos Salud’s Gala celebration will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2026 in the Broward Center‘s opulent Riverview Ballroom. Clients and members will share powerful stories that reveal the inspiring impact the agency has had in their lives. Amazing musical performances by Stefano May accompanied by Hued Songs will wow the audience. And the agency will reveal a game-changing surprise for its 2026 programs. The night will finish with guests dancing al fresco by the riverfront with the event’s own private bar.
To welcome all who want to attend, Latinos Salud has continued its “no-inflation” ticket pricing for the seventh year in a row; the agency has not increased its Gala ticket prices!
Personalizing the experience, guests who purchase tickets before March 5 can pre-select from up to five delicious dinner options (three options for regular ticket holders).
One other way that Latinos Salud’s gala events differ from most is the diversity of community attending, with a wide range of ages and guests coming from both Broward and Miami Dade. You’re sure to see old friends, and also meet new people at this event.
The Broward Center does not allow ticketing at the door. As this issue of OutClique was going to press, Latinos Salud’s Gala event was already 90% sold out.
South Florida’s LGBT community always arrives in style, so many will ask, “What should I wear?” Latinos Salud’s Rafaelé Narváez recommends anything that reflects your style while fitting the evening. “That could be a suit, a tux, or anything you would wear to an upscale dinner party. If you want to play with color, for a 17th anniversary, the colors are gold or sometimes yellow and the flower is red carnation. Some may want to wear a gold or yellow tie, or pocket square, or add a carnation. It’s all up to you!”
Don’t miss your chance to feel the excitement at Latinos Salud’s 17th Annual Gala this month.
