2025 Esperanza Awards

Join us for an inspiring evening as we celebrate the
2025 Anthony B. Ramirez Premio Esperanza (Hope Award) – honoring the dedication, resilience, and leadership of Latino changemakers across the St. Louis region.

Founded in 2003 by Anthony B. Ramirez, the Esperanza Award recognizes individuals whose service and leadership embody the spirit of hope and community empowerment. In 2010, the award was renamed in honor of Ramirez himself, a visionary leader and founder of the Hispanic Leaders Group of Greater St. Louis (HLG), whose legacy continues to unite and uplift generations.

This year's theme, La Esperanza nos Une – Hope Unites Us, reflects the power of shared purpose and community strength. Together, we will celebrate the achievements of the 2025 award recipient and honor the profound impact of Latino leaders throughout our region.

Don’t miss this memorable celebration of unity, heritage, and hope.
