En Foco’s 35th Anniversary Party and Benefit!
En Foco's 35th year is off to a good start.

Thank you to everyone that was able to attend our party and benefit on Wednesday, June 24, at Calumet Photographic - and to everyone that contributed by making a donation to En Foco.

Your help goes far in supporting our programs as En Foco prepares to celebrate a significant milestone in its remarkable history.

If you were unable to attend but would like to contribute, please consider a tax-deductible donation online or by phone: 718-931-9311. Funds raised will help strengthen programs for the coming year, as city and state budget cuts continue to affect our artists lives.

Special thanks to La Palapa Mexican Restaurant (for the great food and donating a gift certificate), Anheuser-Busch and Dos Equis for the great beer, Fuji Film for donating their new Instax Camera, photographers Rojelio Reyes Rodriguez and Karen Garrett de Luna for donating prints for a Silent Auction.
