Rooted in our Latina culture, we believe in the importance of uplifting one another and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us. Join us as we honor this spirit of generosity and highlight how LABNNY and its members contribute to positive change.

The Spirit of Giving in the Latina Community
In the Latina community, giving back is a long-standing tradition. Whether it's helping a neighbor in need or organizing community fundraisers, the spirit of charity runs deep. We draw inspiration from well-known Latina figures like Eva Longoria, who is recognized for her charitable work supporting women and the Hispanic community, and Ricky Martin, whose foundation works to combat human trafficking and provide education and support to children in need. These leaders embody the values of compassion and giving that are central to our community and our network.
How LABNNY Members Make an Impact
LABNNY members are passionate about giving back to their communities, each in their unique way. Some dedicate their time and resources to local nonprofits, while others mentor young Latina entrepreneurs, sharing their knowledge and experiences to help others succeed. This commitment to charity and community support is evident in the diverse ways our members contribute, from organizing fundraisers for local schools to supporting healthcare initiatives and advocating for social justice.

As a small business owner, Yamaris understands the importance of community support and actively participates in local charitable events. She shares, "Giving back is my way of staying connected to my roots and making sure that our community continues to thrive. When we support each other, we all grow stronger together." Yamaris’s dedication to charity reflects the values that LABNNY stands for and inspires others to do the same.
LABNNY’s Charitable Initiatives and Partnerships
LABNNY is dedicated to supporting causes that align with our mission to empower Latina women. Over the years, we have partnered with various organizations, such as Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism (NSSA) (https://nssa.net) and Latina Sisters Support Inc (https://latinasisterssupport.org) ., to drive positive change. Our collaboration with these organizations has allowed us to support critical initiatives, from providing education and treatment for individuals with autism to offering support to Latina women dealing with cancer.
