What a celebration! Last Saturday, our community came together for music, dance, culture, and care at our Hispanic Heritage Festival, and none of it would have happened without the generous partners who stood with us.

A very special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Veterans United Foundation. Your support filled the day with mariachi, folklórico, Lotería, and celebration, and helped us collect donations for families across Columbia through our Comunidad Care Drive. We are so grateful to call you a neighbor and a partner.

And a heartfelt gracias to all of the sponsors who made the day possible:
✨ KOPN 89.5 FM
✨ Iglesia Alfa Y Omega
✨ Central Bank of Boone County
✨ Fika Cup
✨ Lefty's

Juntos, hicimos comunidad. Together, we built community. 🙏
