Celebrating 15 Years of Service to Our Communities!

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the International Society of Black Latinos and myself, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude for making our 15th Anniversary CARNAVAL 2025 gala such a tremendous success. Your support through donations, ticket purchases, volunteering, advertisements, and sponsorships from organizations such as Telemundo, New York Life, Nile Capital, Beyond Cuba Travel, and Charles R. Drew Medical Science University has made a significant impact. As a result, four students from Eliot and the Eliot Arts Magnet School in Altadena have been awarded scholarships. We are truly grateful to the Lord and to you for your contributions. Mil gracias!
