The Inaugural Los Santos Foundation Gala
Join Romeo Santos and leaders from entertainment, sports, business, and philanthropy for an invitation-only evening supporting children with autism and their families.
The inaugural gala will celebrate the people whose achievements and commitment to others reflect the foundation’s belief that every child and family deserves understanding, access to evidence-based care, and a community that helps them thrive.

Celebrating Our Honorees
The evening will introduce the first Los Santos Foundation Honorees, recognizing individuals who use their influence to make a difference.
Honorees include baseball legend David “Big Papi” Ortiz, FOUNDER OF ELS FOR AUTISM & PUBLISHER MARVIN SHANKEN, AND THE CHAIRMAN AND VISIONARY OF THE ARTURO FUENTE CIGAR COMPANY CARLITO FUENTE.
The gala will also welcome Luis Abinader, President of the Dominican Republic, as a special guest.
A Personal Mission, Shared by a Community
Founded by Romeo Santos, the Los Santos Foundation is dedicated to supporting children with autism and the families who love them. The gala brings that mission to life through an evening of recognition, connection, and giving.
Guests will also encounter Por Amor al Tío, a rare Arturo Fuente OpusX collaboration inspired by family and created to benefit the Los Santos Foundation and the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation.
Two cultural icons united through legacy, family, and philanthropy. Created in collaboration with Romeo Santos and Carlito Fuente of the Arturo Fuente Cigar Company, this rare OpusX collection exists to honor memory, celebrate craftsmanship, and support children and families through meaningful charitable impact.
What began as a deeply personal tribute evolved into something far greater. Inspired by Romeo Santos’ late uncle, a devoted admirer of OpusX cigars and a lasting father figure in his life, the collaboration became an opportunity to honor family, Dominican heritage, and the enduring impact of those who shape us.
Through a shared commitment to philanthropy, Romeo Santos and Carlito Fuente transformed that vision into a project rooted in generosity, purpose, and legacy.
RARITY & EXCLUSIVITY
Only 500 boxes of Por Amor Al Tío will be available for donors, philanthropists and collectors present during the end-of-year gala this December 3rd, in South Florida.
MAKING THE CUT
From the esteemed ateliers of Elie Bleu in Paris, France, the cutter echoes the design language of fine jewelry, an accessory that elevates ritual into art.
A Gathering With Purpose
This December, select guests from across culture, business, hospitality, craftsmanship, and philanthropy will gather in South Florida for a private evening benefiting the Los Santos Foundation.
The invitation-only experience will mark the official unveiling of Por Amor al Tío and serve as the exclusive first opportunity for collectors to obtain one of the limited-edition collections.
More than a release, the evening represents a shared commitment to using culture, community, and generosity to create meaningful support for children and families.
BECOME A Gala Sponsor
More than a rare collector’s release, Por Amor al Tío was created with a shared commitment to giving back.
Proceeds from the collaboration and its accompanying fundraising efforts will support the Los Santos Foundation and the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation — two organizations united by a belief in creating greater opportunity, care, and long-term support for children and families through compassion, community, and meaningful action.
