Meeting This Moment

Every year, Para Los Niños’ Annual Benefit celebrates the milestones youth, children, and families have achieved — educationally, emotionally, and economically — while honoring the people who have supported their transformative journeys.
The past year has been especially challenging, but Para Los Niños’ decades of building partnerships, deepening connections, and expanding services has prepared them to MEET THIS MOMENT.
When they match the powerful resilience of their families with the innovation of their team and the support of this community, they are unstoppable.
Join Para Los Niños on May 21, 2026 for an evening at the Omni Hotel in the heart of DTLA, with inspiring stories, a silent auction, and special performances. Learn more here!
