Guests were delighted as performers from “Fame The Musical” bounded down the staircase to perform rousing selections. TV reporter Karla Flores emceed as awards were presented to Sonia Gutiérrez for community and education, to philanthropist Marvin Weissberg and “Orange Is the New Black” actress Diane Guerrero for her advocacy of immigrant rights.
