Thank you to everyone who joined us for an incredible evening a couple weeks ago celebrating the Latino community’s vital impact on food, art, and labor! At the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus Foundation (ILLCF), we were proud to host this powerful event alongside our partners— IL Corn, the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

From an insightful panel discussion featuring local experts to a vibrant networking reception, it was an honor to gather alongside state legislators, community leaders, and advocates at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen.

Together, we celebrate and uplift the tremendous contributions of the Latino community that continue to shape Chicago, Illinois, and our nation.

Thank you to all who attended and for your continued partnership! 🌽🎨🛠️

It was an honor for the ILLC Foundation to attend the LARES 50th Anniversary Summit: Honoring 50 Years of Resilience, Advocacy, & Advancement at UIC.
Celebrating 50 years of LARES was a truly meaningful experience. We had the opportunity to hear firsthand from both current and former LARES students about the impact the program has had on their educational journeys, careers, and lives. Their stories were a powerful reminder of the lasting impact that investing in students, creating opportunities, and building community can have for generations to come.

We are especially grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the incredible legacy of LARES and the students who continue to carry that legacy forward.

A special thank you to the LARES students who supported and helped us during the 2026 Raíces Conference. Your time, energy, and willingness to contribute made a meaningful difference, and we are so grateful for your support!

Congratulations to LARES on 50 years of resilience, advocacy, and advancement. Here’s to celebrating the legacy and looking forward to the next 50 years! 🎉❤️💙
