2026 UNCF Masked Ball – Houston
Presenting the inaugural UNCF MASKED Ball Houston, a premier fundraiser to replace the beloved social event – “A Mind Is…” Gala. The Ball is designed to increase awareness and financial support for UNCF’s mission, local impact, and empowering college-ready South Texas – Houston students.
Individuals, small businesses, corporations, local influencers, elected officials, and alumni intentionally come together to invest in tomorrow’s workforce as sponsors, donors, and attendees for this Fall event. More than five hundred Greater Houstonians will enigmatically light up the ballroom to ensure tomorrow’s workforce is filled with qualified and prepared college graduates from all backgrounds.
