2026 GALA ENTERTAINMENT
Enjoy Live Performances by Lucas Chong
Los Ninos Primero Volunteer and 2026-2027 Youth Ambassador
We are delighted to present Lucas Chong as tonight's musical guest. Lucas is 16 years old, and he attends Holy Innocents' Episcopal School where he is currently in his junior year of high school. He is a multi-instrumentalist, talented at playing clarinet, piano, and guitar. (Lucas also loves garlic bread!)
At Los Ninos Primero, we believe in the transformative power of the arts. Our arts & music programs are where children explore their creativity, strengthen their cultural identity, and foster their growth, communication, motor skills, discipline, language development, and social interaction.
Hiyah! We are proud to offer a karate program that strengthens discipline, concentration, and self-confidence, both on and off the mat. Under the expert guidance of Sensei Tomas Baez, students learn fundamental karate techniques in a structured and supportive environment that fosters respect, perseverance, and physical fitness.
In a 2025 survey, all seventeen of our karate students gave the karate program a 100% satisfaction rating!
Meet Our Sensei: Tomas Baez
Tomas Baez is a life-long practitioner of martial arts and has been coaching kids in karate for nearly 20 years.
After emigrating to the United States from Venezuela as a child in order to find a better life with his family, he struggled to learn the language and find his place in his new home. Martial arts gave him a place to belong and a goal to focus on.
Letter from the Executive Director
At Los Ninos Primero, we know that behind every thriving child is a spark - a moment of curiosity, connection, or courage that sets a whole future in motion.
When you show up, give, and believe in the potential of Latino children and families across Metro Atlanta, you set futures in motion. Through innovative, high-quality education that extends beyond the classroom, we are turning that belief into a lifelong opportunity.
Join us at our Annual Fundraising Gala and let your passion ignite what's possible.
With hope & gratitude,
Maritza Morelli
Executive Director and Co-founder
