Hello friends and community members,
We are thrilled to share the joyous memories of a spectacular event that brought immense joy, culture, and unity to our beloved Bay City. On May 4th, United We Go partnered with Gilly’s Bistro to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, and it was a day filled with unforgettable moments! 🎊🎉🥰 Another milestone for United We Go! 🙏
Cinco De Mayo is a vibrant celebration of Mexican heritage and culture, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to honor this festive day than by coming together as a community. The event perfectly embodied the spirit of United We Go’s mission: to encourage collaboration, celebrate diversity, and foster inclusion through community engagement.
Thanks to the super awesome teammates and volunteers, we successfully collaborated with Gilly's Bistro to make this Cinco de Mayo celebration a success. We enjoyed the crowd and loved our time at the event. Here’s a special shout-out to our incredible team who made it all possible:
