Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at the Community Dinner! The event raised over $15,000, taking us closer to our goal of $134,000 to pay for our community's Comprehensive Fiscal Analysis. With a packed auditorium of more than 250 supporters, it's clear that East LA supports this study, and we have the momentum to reach our goal!
