🦋🎨 Meet the artist behind our 2026 Mariposa Gala program: Lily Almanza! 🎨🦋

We’re proud to feature the work of Lily Almanza, a 17-year-old artist from Moline, Illinois, whose art explores culture, identity, family, and belonging. 💛

Lily has been creating art since she was five years old, and she has continued to develop her craft through Moline High School and the Figge Art Academy. 🖌️

As a Mexican-American artist and folklórico dancer, Lily draws inspiration from her heritage, the people around her, and the experiences that shape her sense of belonging. Her work blends her love of realism, culture, and storytelling to create pieces that feel personal while representing something larger than herself. 🇲🇽

Lily hopes to celebrate Mexican and Latino culture while sharing personal stories and connections with her community. 👏

In her own words:
💬 “Thank you to the Greater Quad Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for giving me the opportunity to be part of this celebration and for believing in me and my artwork. Creating this piece pushed me outside of my comfort zone and allowed me to grow not only as an artist, but also as a person. I am truly grateful for the support, encouragement, and opportunity to share my work and my culture with the community.”

Thank you, Lily, for sharing your talent and your story with us. We can’t wait to see where your art takes you! 🌟

🦋🏆 CONGRATULATIONS to the Diversity Service Center of Iowa / Muscatine, our 2026 Non-Profit of the Year! 🏆🦋

This award goes to a non-profit that has made an outstanding contribution to the Hispanic and multicultural community, and DSCI has been doing that for 25 years. 🎉

📅 DSCI opened its doors in downtown Muscatine on March 1, 2001, and it has been helping neighbors find their footing ever since.

🌎 The center helps immigrants from all over the world navigate the immigration process, and in 2021 alone it served people from 21 different countries. It also helps immigrants get permission to work and find jobs.

👵 DSCI runs a minority senior program that helps older adults find and obtain the benefits available to them, and it takes on many of the administrative tasks that can feel overwhelming.

🗣️ Services are available in English and Spanish, and they reach residents across Muscatine, Louisa, Scott, Cedar, and Johnson Counties in Iowa, plus Rock Island and Mercer Counties in Illinois.

Executive Director Rosa Mendoza has led the center since it opened. She says what she values most is being able to make a difference in people’s lives and seeing the outcomes. For 25 years, that dedication has made our region stronger and more welcoming. 💛

Congratulations to Rosa, the DSCI team, and everyone who has been part of this 25-year journey. Thank you for all you do! 👏

🦋🏆 CONGRATULATIONS to Ascentra Credit Union, our 2026 Bob Ontiervos/Group O Corporation of the Year! 🏆🦋

This award goes to a business that offers special programs making a real difference for the Hispanic and multicultural community, and Ascentra has been doing that for years. 💙

🤝 In 2008, Ascentra put a formal outreach strategy in place to better connect with the region's growing Hispanic community. They later became the first credit union in the Western Illinois and Eastern Iowa region to receive the national "Juntos Avanzamos" (Together We Advance) designation.

✨ What that commitment looks like:
🗣️ Financial well-being presentations in Spanish
🎓 A scholarship created through the Greater Quad Cities Hispanic Chamber and LULAC
🌎 A Newcomers Initiative, partnering with non-profit immigration service providers
📋 A Community Development Advisory Board

💛 Ascentra's impact reaches the wider community too. The credit union has contributed over $1 million to charitable causes supporting education, housing, and economic development.

As one Ascentra leader put it, when people can manage their finances, they can have a better life and pass that on to their kids. That's the kind of impact we love to celebrate. 👏

Congratulations to the entire Ascentra team, and thank you for investing in our community!

🦋🏆 CONGRATULATIONS to Edwin Salazar, our 2026 Sergio Mendoza Advocate of the Year! 🏆🦋

As Director of ThePlace2B, the YWCA Quad Cities after-school program for youth, Edwin is a mentor, role model, and champion for young people and families across the Quad Cities. 💛

Since joining YWCA Quad Cities two years ago, Edwin has brought ThePlace2B back to life after its COVID-19 hiatus. In the past year alone, the program served more than 100 youth, with 25 to 35 students walking through the doors on a typical evening. 🙌

✨ Free programming Monday through Friday
🍎 Nutritious meals
🚌 Transportation
🤝 Mentoring, field trips, and career opportunities

But Edwin’s impact goes well beyond the program. He takes students to doctor’s appointments, helps them get their driver’s licenses, guides them through opening bank accounts, and has even bought soccer cleats for a student who couldn’t afford them. For so many young people, he’s the steady adult who believes in them, celebrates their milestones, and cheers them on at graduation. 🎓

Edwin also serves on advisory boards and committees across the Quad Cities, advocating for youth, families, and greater opportunities for all. As a proud Latino leader, he shows young people that they should be proud of who they are, where they come from, and who they can become. 🇬🇹🇺🇸

Edwin doesn’t just speak up for his community. He shows up for it. 👏

Congratulations, Edwin, and thank you for everything you do for our youth! 🎉
