Puro Corazón—Fundraiser to Benefit Puertas Abiertas Community Resource Center
Puertas Abiertas Community Resource Center (Puertas Abiertas) announces its inaugural Puro Corazón fundraiser on Friday, September 20th, 5 pm-10 pm at the beautiful Heirs of My Dream Winery in Sonoma. The event marks a significant milestone for the organization, signifying more than just a fundraiser—it is a celebration of Puertas Abiertas’ dedication to uplifting and supporting the Napa Latinx community.
Puro Corazón will feature an unforgettable evening of Oaxacan cuisine, wine, live music by Ligia Coria and DJ José Miguel, silent auctions, and more, to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month and the invaluable work of Puertas Abiertas. The fundraiser is a momentous opportunity to raise awareness of the essential community services of Puertas Abiertas and to inspire contributions to preserve the organization’s successful programs.
“Puro Corazón is the first full-scale fundraising event of its kind to benefit Puertas Abiertas. This amazing organization really is the heart of the Napa Valley and serves the community with such dedication and determination that the event name really is a testament to the philosophy of Puertas Abiertas,” notes Daniela Bazán of Bazán Cellars and a Puertas Abiertas Board Member. “We are so excited to share the great work of Puertas Abiertas with the philanthropic community and beyond, and for the community to get involved and support Puertas Abiertas’ multicultural programs and vision for a Latinx cultural center in Napa.”
