The twinkling glow of both the stars and the Chicago skyline added to the sophisticated, energetic, and positively-charged environment at one of the most-anticipated philanthropic events of the season. On March 8th, 2013, the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement (HACE) held it's annual fundraiser - Sembrando el Futuro (Seeding the Future) - at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.

The proceeds from the event went to support community programs focused on high school, collegiate, women and mid-career professionals, all with hopes of fostering a strong group of talent by supporting members with the necessary resources to progress to the next level in their education or career. With a reach of over 40,000 members on a national level, HACE hopes to reach a wide-range of folks through its sponsors so as to continue providing youth with the tools for success.

As attendees managed to find their elixir of choice, guest speakers, which included Illinois State Governor Pat Quinn, made their way onto the stage. Their message was one of hope and empowerment for the Latino community and youth everywhere: be the best you can possible become with the support of your community.

Chicago ABC 7 News Anchor Stacey Baca served as the gorgeous and talented MC for the evening. Her charisma enchanted guests and the energy Stacey showcased also encouraged both HACE members and guests to network while enjoying savory delights from Chartwells, including vegetarian tostadas and chorizo and cheese empanadas.

As the night progressed, guests continued to mingle and swap business cards. However, HACE's Sembrando el Futuro had a Latin flavor that included the rhythms of salsa, bachata, and cumbia music that wooed guests off their seats and onto the dance floor. With a little help from one's elixir, even someone with two left feet knew how to salsa their way to new friends and lasting professional relationships.

¡Salud!
