Liga Gala

Liga held its first successful Gala on April 29, 2022 hosted in the community at The Felt Factory. Liga’s Gala was produced by Duarte Entertainment who brought in Limi-T21 straight from Puerto Rico. Duarte Entertainment also produced a podcast with pioneers of La Liga and brought in Pat Croce (former Sixer’s GM) who, during the live broadcast challenged the world to match his donation of 25k to bring Liga its new home gym.
