Denver, CO, September 4, 2026 — The Latinas First Foundation is preparing to host its 15th annual scholarship and awards celebration, scheduled to take place on October 2. The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center.
This year’s celebration marks a significant milestone for the foundation as it commemorates its 15th anniversary. The luncheon is set to recognize and support the academic endeavors of college students through the awarding of 60 scholarships.
In addition to the scholarship presentations, the event will also honor individuals designated as Latina Trailblazers and Unsung Heroines. These recognitions highlight the contributions and achievements of women within the community.
A notable feature of this year’s event will be the presence of civil rights leader Dolores Huerta, who is slated to attend as the special guest. Huerta will also be presented with the inaugural Matriarca de Justicia Award, an acknowledgment of her lifelong work and advocacy.
The Latinas First Foundation aims to foster leadership and provide educational opportunities for Latinas through its initiatives, with the annual luncheon serving as a key event for fundraising and community engagement.
