Join Ascender and partners for ¡Avanza! Pittsburgh, the region’s annual celebration of Latine innovation, culture, and community. This dynamic event wraps up Hispanic Heritage Month with a full day of:

• Latine Mini-Grant Awards Ceremony – supporting emerging and established small businesses with direct funding.

• ️ Marketplace – shop and connect with local Latine-owned vendors (3–7 PM).

• Food & Drinks – savor tacos from El Sabor, desserts by Panadería Jazmín, and craft beverages from Trace Brewing (with $1 per drink donated to Ascender).

• Live Music & Entertainment – enjoy DJ Bamboo, dancing, and networking throughout the evening.

This is more than a party—it’s a chance to uplift Latine entrepreneurs, connect with community leaders, and celebrate the contributions of Pittsburgh’s vibrant Latine community.

✨ Let’s celebrate culture, innovation, and opportunity—together!
