Planting The Seed Annual Luncheon

The Planting the Seed Annual Luncheon brings together civic, business, and community leaders who are committed to advancing educational equity and expanding opportunity for the next generation of Latinx students and students of color.

This uplifting midday gathering is both a celebration and a call to action. Guests will learn how sustained investment in education creates lasting impact—supporting students as they persist through college, prepare for meaningful careers, and build long-term economic mobility for themselves and their families. As students continue to face rising costs and systemic barriers, this event highlights the power of shared responsibility and community leadership.

By attending or supporting this luncheon, you are directly investing in LEAF’s mentorship, academic, and career-focused programs at critical moments in students’ journeys. Together, we can continue cultivating opportunity and building a future where every student has a real chance to thrive.
