This weekend, on November 7, 2026, the Center for Hispanic Marketing Communication will be hosting its Rooted in Purpose Gala. This is our opportunity to celebrate with our community and fundraise for our next generation of marketing professionals.

If you’re in Tallahassee this weekend, please come to the Gala! The Gala will take place at the FSU Alumni Center at 7 p.m. The event will be a great opportunity for attendees to connect with peers, faculty, alumni, and industry professionals. During the event, there will be a complimentary buffet dinner for all attendees, live music from three FSU Hispanic music groups, recognition of our awardee, Gene Bryan, a Hispanic marketing industry leader, red carpet photos, and a 360° camera experience. The event will conclude with salsa and a silent auction featuring FSU-related memorabilia and other special packages! It will truly be a night to remember!

Not able to make it? That’s okay! You can still support this year’s Gala. We greatly appreciate any and all contributions! All donations and proceeds from this event will go directly toward creating and supporting opportunities for our students to continue becoming the next generation of marketing professionals! Your support directly helps provide our students with the resources, experiences, and professional relationships they need to grow academically and professionally. Whether you attend the Gala or contribute from afar, your support makes a world of difference in the future of our students, the Center, and the Hispanic marketing industry.
