Celebrating 23 years of service, OLA of Eastern Long Island will host its signature Sabor cocktail fundraiser on Thursday, July 17, at The Church in Sag Harbor. This year’s event will be chaired by acclaimed actor, comedian, playwright, and producer John Leguizamo.
A tireless advocate for Latino and immigrant rights, Leguizamo has received numerous accolades for his work, including a Primetime Emmy Award for “John Leguizamo: Freak” and a Special Tony Award honoring his decades-long commitment to bringing diverse stories and audiences to Broadway. His one-man show “Latin History for Morons” — a tribute to Latino contributions to American history — was nominated for the 2018 Tony Award for Best Play.
Guests at Sabor will enjoy Mexican tapas, mezcal cocktails, wine, and other beverages, as well as a performance by Latin Moon, featuring percussionist Carolina Fuentes (aka Mila Tina), vocalist/pianist Carolina Kohn, and saxophonist/flutist Julie Bluestone, playing vibrant Latin jazz rhythms. The evening will also include a silent auction.
“We are so excited about this year’s Sabor event!” said OLA Executive Director Minerva Perez. “Given our commitment to celebrating Latino artistic production alongside our advocacy mission, we are thrilled to have John Leguizamo serve as event chair. Both on and off stage, he is a passionate advocate, and we are proud of this collaboration.”
Founded in 2002, OLA of Eastern Long Island works to build a more equitable East End for Latino immigrants through advocacy, leadership development, family protection, and cultural celebration.
Tickets are $300 and can be purchased at olaofeasternlongisland.org.
