2025’s Event Was A Tremendous Success!

Last year, more than 120 people gathered under the vibrant and symbolic theme Luchadores del Valle—Fighting for a Better Future at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater to celebrate this year’s honorees, who truly embody the rich legacy of Lucha Libre.

While we look to crown the new champions, we’ll always be grateful to 2025’s winners: Sarah Reyes, for her tireless and passionate commitment to put health at the forefront of each issue; Gloria Hernandez, for her decades of community service in the fight for justice; Naindeep Singh Chann, for his work to uplift marginalized voices; Binational of California, an organization that lives up to its mission each day to “help our communities rise”; and Evan Yang, who will soon graduate from high school and lives by this quote: “no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

As we look ahead to 2026, we carry forward that momentum—grounded in community, driven by purpose, and focused on creating a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
