The Family Center-La Familia (TFCLF) welcomed hundreds of community members, supporters, and sponsors to their annual Belong Fundraising Event, despite the rainy weather. Held as an open house, the event showcased the center’s commitment to strengthening families and building community bonds.
Community Spirit Shines Through
It may have been raining cats and dogs outside, but inside The Family Center, community spirit was alive and shining through! Attendees were treated to live music, delicious tacos from Angry Hippie Tacos, and sweet treats from Rainbow Paleta Bar Ice Cream Truck, creating a festive atmosphere for all ages.
Celebrating Connection
The event was an opportunity for TFCLF to share its mission with the greater community. Guests enjoyed hosted drinks and snacks, face painting, and tours of the facility, gaining insight into the vital work being done to support families in Northern Colorado.
Honoring Individuals
This year’s Belong event had a special addition – a photography art exhibit by lifestyle photographer, John Robson. Titled “Soul Family”, the exhibit featured portraits of La Familia staff, celebrating the unique individuals who make a difference every day.
Participants who were photographed for the exhibit were encouraged to wear an article of clothing that connected them to their heritage, fostering a sense of pride and connection to their roots.
Looking Forward
TFCLF looks forward to the Belong Event each year. It’s an opportunity to share their work and connect with the community. Despite this year’s challenges provided by the weather, the event was a display of community and unity that defines TFCLF and its supporters.
