“I am so excited about ‘Con Cora Land,’ the first annual gala for my foundation,” Karol G said in a statement. “When we started Con Cora, my goal was to empower women and girls to turn their dreams into reality, regardless of their background. ‘Con Cora Land’ will be a special space where we can recognize our achievements, raise awareness of that impact we have done and look forward to the incredible journey ahead.”
The inaugural event will feature live performances on “specially curated” stages, according to a press release Tuesday. There will be an online and live auction, where fans can support the initiative during the gala and until March 12. Anyone interested in participating in the auction can pre-register to ensure a place.
Fans can also enter to win a ticket to the event in Miami by donating to the Con Cora Foundation’s “Every Dollar Counts” initiative. For every dollar donated, participants will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a double ticket to attend “Con Cora Land.” Winners will be selected via the Con Cora Foundation Instagram account (@concorafoundation) and notified via email.
“‘Con Cora Land’ is a powerful reflection of our mission to empower women and girls to pursue their dreams,” said Valentina Bueno, Executive Director of the Con Cora Foundation. “We’re incredibly excited to bring this event to life—it’s been a long time coming. It’s a reflection of Latinx culture and family, while creating opportunities for women to thrive in fields like technology, the arts, and leadership. We can’t wait to unite our supporters and raise awareness of the incredible work ahead.”
