51st Legacy Luncheon - Lisa Francoeur Is Being Honored 🙏🏾

For 51 years, Haitian Americans United for Progress (HAUP) has stood with our community through moments of opportunity, uncertainty, crisis, and change. Today, as immigrant families face some of the most difficult and unsettling challenges of our time, our work and our presence have never been more critical. On Saturday, October 3, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., we will gather at Terrace on the Park for HAUP's 51st Anniversary Legacy Luncheon, under this year's powerful theme: WE FIGHT FOR HOPE SO HAUP CAN FIGHT FOR YOU ONE BAND. ONE SOUND. ONE FIGHT. This year's celebration is about far more than marking another anniversary. It is about standing together for the families who turn to HAUP every day for immigration assistance, food, education, health and social services, advocacy, and simply a trusted place to turn when they do not know where else to go. It is also about recognizing those whose leadership, service, creativity, and commitment reflect the very best of our community. This year, we are proud to honor: Rachelle Antoine, MSW - Manager of External Affairs and Community Outreach, JFKInternational Airport Redevelopment Airbnb Louis Joseph Auguste, MD - Surgical OncologistDennis Dambreville - Designer at Large Lisa Francoeur - CEO, Fancyfied | Cofounder, Crypto Tutors | Co-Inventor, DeFi All Odds The Hostin Family Klenord "Shaft" Raphael - Music Manager and Owner, LÉLÉ NYC As we celebrate 51 years of service, we are also looking forward to the work that must continue, the families who will continue to need us, and the responsibility we share to ensure that HAUP remains strong for generations to come. We would be honored to have you stand with us. Join us as a guest, sponsor, supporter, or partner, and help us continue building the hope our community needs now more than ever. Because when we fight for hope, we strengthen HAUP's ability to fight for every person and family who depends on us. One Band. One Sound. One Fight. Together in legacy, hope, and purpose,
