“As we celebrate CHCI’s 35th anniversary, it is fitting that this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month theme and events reflect our founders’ original vision to create opportunities for Latino youth and celebrate the immense contributions of Latinos to the United States,” said Rep. Charles A. Gonzalez, CHCI Chair. CHCI is expecting a record turnout this year as federal and local elected officials, corporate and nonprofit leaders, celebrities, and supporters of the Latino community gather to honor the significant achievements of Hispanics at this year’s gala.
