The 2023 gala, Latinos Salud’s first indoors gathering since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a night of celebration that will highlight how the agency has adapted during the last three years. It is scheduled for Feb. 25 with a VIP cocktail hour starting at 6 p.m. followed by the main event at 7 p.m.

Tickets start at $175 for regular admission and $225 for VIP. Gala funds help the agency’s participation in the annual Florida AIDS Walk. Free parking, open bar, hand-passed small plates and fast-paced entertainment are all part of the package.

VIP ticket holders get photo opportunities, a dedicated cocktail hour and the agency’s popular “Benefit in a Box” personally delivered prior to the event.

Headlining the Evolution Gala is Franzer Pasos, a Cuban singer who has appeared on the Fox music challenge series, I Can See Your Voice. The 22-year-old is a Latinos Salud client, taking PrEP to protect himself from HIV, the agency confirmed. Besides its PrEP program, Latinos Salud offers HIV testing and free vaccinations against COVID-19, monkeypox, meningitis and hepatitis.
