The Refinery: Prosperity and Influence

Join the All Hart Foundation and the Tampa Bay Latin Chamber for "La Refinería: Prosperidad E Influencia" (The Refinery: Prosperity and Influence). In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, this gathering is dedicated to addressing the unique challenges and opportunities facing Latinos today while empowering our community to thrive on every level.

Our conversation will delve deep into topics of wealth and financial empowerment, exploring strategies to build and sustain generational wealth within the Latin community. We’ll address the critical issue of mental health, breaking down the stigmas and barriers that prevent so many from seeking the care they need. Wellness will also take center stage as we discuss holistic approaches to health that honor our cultural roots while promoting physical and emotional well-being.

Civic engagement, both locally and nationally, will be a focal point as we examine how our voices can shape the future of our communities and our country. From voter participation to grassroots activism, we’ll explore how every individual can make a meaningful impact.

But this event is more than just dialogue—it’s a celebration of our culture, resilience, and collective power. Hosted at the Egypt Shriner Center in Tampa, the evening will feature a vibrant night market showcasing the talents and creativity of Latin entrepreneurs, along with entertainment that celebrates our rich heritage. Indulge in delicious cuisine, connect with like-minded individuals, and leave inspired to take action in your life and community.

Mark your calendars for September 27th and join us for this transformative event where we'll come together be empowered, inspired, and to prosper.
