September 11, 2025 – Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, OH — On a picturesque evening filled with music, warmth, and generosity, the LULAC Ohio Educational Foundation (LOEF) hosted An Evening of Song for a Cause at Market Wines in Walnut Hills. The event brought together community members, supporters, and music lovers to celebrate Latino culture and raise funds for youth initiatives.
The venue, graciously donated by Lynn Love, owner of Market Wines, provided the perfect backdrop for the evening. Market Wines, a woman-owned minority business, is known not only for its curated wine selections but also for its commitment to uplifting local communities.
🎶 The highlight of the night was a stunning performance by Ana Karen, affectionately known as La Dama del Pueblo. Her emotive voice carried through the air as she delivered a heartfelt repertoire of traditional and contemporary songs, captivating the audience and honoring the spirit of cultural pride and youth empowerment. Gracias por el apoyo a la juventud, Ana Karen!!
Guests mingled under the pleasant skies, reconnecting with old friends and forming new bonds. A wine raffle added a festive touch to the evening, that was possible by an enthusiastic group of local scientist. Thank you for your support!! The lucky winner took home a bottle of Cocodrillo (Cocodrile), a rich Argentinian blend with a name as bold as its flavor.
“Events like this remind us why we do what we do,” said LOEF board member, Victoria Garland. “It’s about coming together, sharing joy, and giving back to the community that inspires us.” The warm reception from attendees reaffirmed LOEF’s mission to foster connection and support through creative, inclusive gatherings. With fall on the horizon, LOEF promises more events that continue to celebrate culture, community, and cause.
