El Concilio California Annual Gala
El Concilio California’s Annual Gala is a signature evening of celebration, recognition, and community investment. Each year, the Gala brings together business, civic, philanthropic, and community leaders for an elegant evening dedicated to honoring service, strengthening partnerships, and supporting El Concilio’s mission.
Come together and celebrate with us
The Annual Gala celebrates individuals and organizations whose leadership, generosity, and commitment have helped advance opportunities for families and communities across the Central Valley. Through awards, dinner, entertainment, fellowship, and partnership opportunities, the Gala highlights the shared responsibility we have to uplift those who are working toward stability, opportunity, and self-determination.
This year we honor four distinctive voices for their commitment to community:
- Yaqui Lopez ~ Amigo of the Year
- Andrea Andrade ~ Amiga of the Year
- Tim Ulmer ~ Unsung Hero
- Dan Arriola ~ La Raza Award
Proceeds and support from the Annual Gala help sustain El Concilio’s broad network of programs and services, including family support, immigration legal services, behavioral wellness, early childhood development, workforce readiness, senior services, civic engagement, and community outreach.
The Gala is more than a formal event. It is a celebration of impact, partnership, and the people who make ECC’s work possible.
There are a range of partnership opportunities for your consideration and a limited number of tickets available. If you have any questions, please contact Inés Ruiz-Huston at 209-644-2623 or iruiz@elconcilio.org, or purchase tickets through our registration portal.
