Two years ago, HORA’s first Gala was more than a dream come to reality for our community! 100% of the funds raised were used in HORA internships benefiting the local youth. Ultimately, the event served as a springboard for revitalizing a stronger-than-ever local Romanian-American community with a Twin Cities history of more than a century and inclusive of all its generations, religions and many common future aspirations.
Program
- Awards recognizing excellence in the community service
- Exclusive performance of Codrut Barsan, renowned Romanian-American Artist and Composer
- Hors d’oeuvres, sit-down dinner, beverages, deserts and DJ music to dance the night away
