Support a love of learning
and cross-cultural friendships wholeheartedly

music and culture.

Tickets on sale now!

 

Fundraising event

Celebrate 10 years of connections at the second annual Amor y Amistad (Love & Friendship) Gala on Feb. 7, 2025.

​

Similar to the Latin American tradition of Amor y Amistad, which embraces all relationships, this gala celebrates the connections that strengthen Listos. That includes the students' cross-cultural friendships, the love of learning instilled by teachers and families and, of course, all of the amazing people like you who help the children succeed. 

​

Be part of this fun-loving night of Latin American food, music and culture. Together we can celebrate the importance of connections in true Latin American style — wholeheartedly! 

​

Listos is Rochester's first bilingual, nonprofit early education program. Our program opened in 2015 as a grassroots effort to provide inclusive, affordable early child education in Rochester. Now in our 10th school year, 70 percent of our students receive tuition assistance. Listos is also active in addressing access to high quality childcare, empowering families and building cross cultural connections. 

Please join us in sharing the love!

​

Presale tickets only $50!

After Dec. 10, tickets are regular price, $75 or $500 for a table for 8.
