The Motor City Cruise celebrated Hispanic Heritage Day on February 22 at Wayne State Fieldhouse with a commanding 149–118 victory over the College Park Skyhawks, capping off an afternoon that blended professional basketball with a vibrant cultural showcase.

The event brought together community leaders, nonprofit organizations, local business, and fans for a program highlighting Hispanic culture and contributions across Metro Detroit. Festivities included music by DJ Izel and featured performances by Reflejos Latinos, a folkloric ballet based in Ann Arbor. The group performed a milonga, a traditional dance style with roots in Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil.

Hispanic Heritage Day was sponsored by Ideal Group and supported by several nonprofit partners, including Minority Education Freedom Foundation, Detroit Cristo Rey, Southwest Detroit Business Association, COMPAS, and La Casa Guadalupana. Representatives from Alliance Catholic Credit Union and EL CENTRAL Hispanic News were also on site, hosting informational tables to share resources and connect with attendees.

As part of the celebration, Jennifer Galindez of Cristo Rey was presented with a commemorative jersey in recognition of her organization’s engagement with the community. Anita Zavala received a special honor for her ongoing leadership and service to Detroit’s Hispanic community.

The Cruise’s decisive win provided the competitive highlight of the evening, while the cultural programming underscored the team’s commitment to community engagement and inclusion beyond the court.

El Motor City Cruise celebró el Día de la Herencia Hispana el 22 de febrero en Wayne State Fieldhouse con una contundente victoria de 149–118 sobre los College Park Skyhawks, cerrando una tarde que combinó el baloncesto profesional con una vibrante muestra cultural.

El evento reunió a líderes comunitarios, organizaciones sin fines de lucro, negocios locales y aficionados en un programa que destacó la cultura hispana y sus contribuciones en todo Metro Detroit. Las festividades incluyeron música a cargo de DJ Izel y presentaciones de Reflejos Latinos, un ballet folclórico con sede en Ann Arbor. El grupo interpretó una milonga, un estilo de danza tradicional con raíces en Argentina, Paraguay y Brasil.

El Día de la Herencia Hispana fue patrocinado por Ideal Group y contó con el apoyo de varios socios sin fines de lucro, entre ellos Minority Education Freedom Foundation, Detroit Cristo Rey, Southwest Detroit Business Association, COMPAS y La Casa Guadalupana. Representantes de Alliance Catholic Credit Union y EL CENTRAL Hispanic News también estuvieron presentes con mesas informativas para compartir recursos y conectar con los asistentes.

Como parte de la celebración, Jennifer Galindez de Cristo Rey recibió una camiseta conmemorativa en reconocimiento al compromiso de su organización con la comunidad. Anita Zavala también fue reconocida con un homenaje especial por su liderazgo continuo y su servicio a la comunidad hispana de Detroit.

La contundente victoria del Cruise fue el momento deportivo más destacado de la noche, mientras que la programación cultural subrayó el compromiso del equipo con la participación comunitaria y la inclusión más allá de la cancha.
