The 35th annual Latin Fever Ball brings together Georgia’s business community and social leaders to experience an evening of elegance and fun. Funds raised by the Latin Fever Ball will support the annual operations of the Latin American Association and its one-stop shop service model that looks to bring the American dream to life by providing the resources, support and community that Latinos need to embark on their journey of prosperity. The LAA is the catalyst that moves Latinos toward achieving the American dream and enjoying prosperity. Because when Latinos thrive, Georgia prospers
