JOIN THIS CELEBRATION OF
HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY!
Together, we can ensure that every talented student in Puerto Rico has the opportunity to dream, achieve their goals, and transform
the future of our island.
At Fundación Kinesis, we believe that a single opportunity can change everything. An opportunity opens doors where there were once limits, inspires confidence where there was once doubt, and ignites the spark that transforms dreams into achievements.
For more than two decades, we have accompanied thousands of young Puerto Ricans on their journey toward a future that once seemed unattainable. We have seen how a scholarship, a mentorship, or a helping hand at the right moment becomes the starting point for extraordinary stories: young people who are now engineers, scientists, artists, doctors, and leaders committed to the progress of Puerto Rico and the world.
This year, under the theme “The Power of Opportunity", we celebrate the power of those opportunities, those first doors that open thanks to individuals and companies who believe in education as the most transformative force that exists.
The Board of Directors and the Gala Organizing Committee are honored to invite you to an evening of hope, gratitude, and transformation. Join us in celebrating the power of education to open doors and create opportunities that change lives forever.

WHEN OPPORTUNITY MEETS SUPPORT,
EDUCATION BECOMES IMPACT.
Estefanía has turned her passion for singing into a career that transcends borders, strengthened by her outstanding training at the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music. She made her European debut at the Trentino Music Festival in Italy, where she performed roles in operas by Handel and Strauss and worked with renowned international artists. Today, she continues to prepare for professional auditions while sharing her talent through educational initiatives on the island.
