PHILADELPHIA, PA – Philadelphia’s vibrant food scene is intrinsically linked to the diverse immigrant communities that call the city home. On Thursday, May 8th, 2025, the Garces Foundation Benefit: Latin Night Market offers a unique opportunity to celebrate these contributions while directly supporting vital services for immigrant families. Hosted by Chef Jose Garces and Dr. Beatriz Garces at LIVE! Hotel and Casino, the event raises crucial funds for the Garces Foundation’s mission.
The Garces Foundation was established to address the significant hurdles Philadelphia’s immigrant community faces, particularly in accessing healthcare, dental care, and educational services. Linguistic and cultural barriers, often combined with lack of insurance, create significant challenges. The Foundation works to bridge these gaps through community health days and English language classes specifically targeted toward the restaurant industry workforce.
“The vision of the Garces Foundation is a city in which everyone, including recent immigrants, have the support they need to enjoy the highest possible quality of life and contribute meaningfully as members of the community,” states the Foundation.
By attending the Latin Night Market benefit, guests directly support these essential programs. The evening features unlimited food and drinks from over three dozen top Philadelphia chefs and restaurants, live music, art, and auctions – a festive celebration with a profound purpose. Every dollar raised helps provide life-changing support to immigrant neighbors.
Tickets are $125 and represent an investment in the health and well-being of Philadelphia’s immigrant community.
