Teatro Yerbabruja invites you to join us in honoring the artists, educators, cultural workers, and community
leaders who continue to uplift our heritage and pave new paths in the arts. Your support helps us preserve our
traditions, empower immigrant youth, and ensure that Puerto Rican and Latin American culture continues to
thrive on Long Island and beyond.
To celebrate this milestone, we honor Deputy Commissioner
Belinda Alvarez and Elizabeth Custodio(Lifetime Achievement Awards), the Hispanic Counseling Center (Grand Marshal), Dr. Hector Sepulveda(Presidential Award), Maribel Gomez, Esq. (Social Justice Award), Nathan Brinkman (Advocacy Award),
Teddy Acevedo (Pioneer Award), and Noemi Robinson (Cultural Champion Award) for their exceptional
leadership and lasting contributions to our community and the history of the Puerto Rican Hispanic
Parade.
We hope you will join us for this beautiful evening of celebration, music, and culture. Tickets are $175 per
person and Sponsorship opportunities are also available for those who wish to further support our artistic,
cultural, and educational programs. Your partnership as a sponsor is especially meaningful to us because you
embody the same commitment to community, equity, and cultural pride that defines our work at Teatro
Yerbabruja.
Your leadership, values, and presence in our community make you an essential part of the ecosystem that uplifts
families, strengthens cultural identity, and expands access to the arts. Sponsoring this Gala is not only an
investment in a single event—it is a contribution to the preservation of our heritage, the empowerment of our
youth, and the continued amplification of Puerto Rican and Hispanic voices on Long Island. Together, we can
ensure that the stories, traditions, and artistic brilliance of our communities continue to thrive for generations to
come.
