Chicano

ELEGANCE

By reimagining elegance through a Chicano lens, the gala challenges stereotypes and fosters a sense of pride, belonging, and visibility. Beyond a single evening, the gala sparks ongoing community engagement, cultural preservation, and inspiration for future leaders, artists, and advocates.

Our Mission

ContactDonate

Chicano Elegance unites these people from coast to coast, especially west coast neighborhoods/barrios that were created by immigrants who share not only struggle, but also food, music, culture, and slang.

Through an immersive event, that celebrates a rich subculture, we continue to make noise, create space and be unapologetically proud of everything that makes us who we are. Not only do we celebrate our Latinidad & Indigenous roots, but we amplify nuances of our community of Chingones that share talent, goals, and beauty as Chicanos, “de aqui & de alla”.

FOR THE COMMUNITY BY THE COMMUNITY

Chicano Elegance is where fashion meets philanthropy. It is a space curated to celebrate Chicano identity, amplify our talent, as well as contribute to a cause aligned with our values.

Chicano Elegance 2023 partnered with Helping Hands, a non- profit bringing resources and aid to survivors of Domestic Violence. Chicano Elegance not only fundraised to contribute monetary aid but raised awareness on the prevalence of DV in communities of color by bringing the conversation to the forefront of its audiences-while celebrating cultural unity.

For the 2024 gala, we raised funds for Warriors Road, a diverse, veteran-founded 501(c)(3) non-profit organization on a mission to heal veterans and first responders through the power of working with horses. This program is designed to promote wellness and holistic healing through various, all-encompassing ranch and horseback experiences. Through their program, they bring a much- needed community, a sense of purpose and belonging, and a welcome respite, all at NO cost to our heroes!
