The Gala is our Biggest Annual Fundraiser of the Year and a Favorite Event Among Supporters.
We are excited to have you join us at this year's 42nd Annual Charity and Scholarship Gala where we will celebrate "The Black Family: Strength and Unity through Health and Mental Well-Being." Peering through the eyes and hearts of our great leaders, you will be inspired by the hope that has carried our families through turbulent times and the joy of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
As our honored guest you will also enjoy an exquisite champagne reception, where you will meet local artists and authors. The performances, delectable cuisine, and spirits will bring sheer delight as we celebrate our awardees and scholarship recipients.
The Gala is a crucial part of our fundraising efforts, and we could not be successful without your continued support.
Funds raised through sponsorships, donations, and silent auctions, support initiatives aimed at enhancing our capacity to radically improve the health of our communities by providing mentorship, leadership development, advocacy training, standardized testing and medical school and residency application support, and individualized support for our Black women physicians and aspiring physicians as they fulfill their life's calling to care for the most vulnerable of our community and effect positive change in our health care system.
Sponsorships and Tickets for the 2023 Gala are open now!
