Saturday, August 15 from 2 to 6 p.m.

Circle de Luz, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young Latinas through education, mentorship, and scholarships, invites the greater Charlotte community to a Beats & Becas daytime dance party fundraiser on Saturday, August 15 from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Salud Cerveceria, located at 3306-C N. Davidson Street in NoDa. Tickets cost $40 and are on sale now.

“This is a party with a purpose, featuring the dance beats of DJ Mina Marie,” said Circle de Luz board member Euralis Figueroa. “It’s a fun way to learn more about the good work we are doing at Circle de Luz to support our young Latinas in the area and raise scholarship funds, 'becas' in Spanish, for our Class of 2032.”

Each year, Circle de Luz selects a new cohort of seventh grade students and commits to walking alongside them for six transformative years. Throughout this journey, students receive comprehensive developmental programming, one-on-one mentorship, and culturally responsive support connecting them and their families to essential community resources. This fall, we’re thrilled to welcome the Class of 2032, and together, we can build the circle of support that will not only fund their scholarships, but also empower their growth, amplify their voices, and help them achieve their boldest dreams.
