Events

June 7:  This event has been postponed. Please watch this page for updates.

Join UNCF Indianapolis as they present the sixth annual Fort Wayne Mayor’s Breakfast benefiting UNCF. The breakfast will feature greetings from the Honorable Thomas C. Henry, who is dedicated to working to diversify the workforce and promote education equality. Mayor Henry is committed to helping support UNCF and its mission of getting students to and through college.

The Fort Wayne Mayor’s Breakfast is hosted by the UNCF Fort Wayne Leadership Council. Since 2007, UNCF’s Fort Wayne Leadership Council has awarded over 75 scholarships and raised over $270,000 in funding to get students to and through college. The Fort Wayne Scholarship Program’s immediate aim is to identify and reward outstanding area students that are seeking higher education and meaningful careers but need financial support to begin and sustain their educational journeys.

Sponsorship opportunities available; click for details.

UNCF seeks your partnership support for the 2021 Louisville Mayor’s Luncheon benefiting UNCF. Net proceeds from this fundraising event will support UNCF’s education mission and help break the financial barriers that prevent so many talented students from earning a college degree. Our request is in line with your company’s commitment to increasing educational opportunities for minority students in our community and increasing the educated workforce pipeline in our nation. UNCF-member colleges graduate more African American students than other private colleges or public universities, and their low tuition rates are 26 percent less than those charged by other private colleges. Because college graduates earn higher incomes than nongraduates, your partnership will be an investment in the future teachers, business leaders, engineers, physicians and other professionals who will graduate from UNCF-member colleges to become productive participants in their communities and in the U.S. economy.

Please join UNCF and a host of dignitaries and friends for the 19th anniversary of this Charlotte tradition. The luncheon is a signature fundraising event for UNCF, named in honor of our beloved friend and longtime supporter, the late Dr. Maya Angelou.

This year’s event is virtual, and still the “can’t miss” event of the year!

During the Luncheon, women who are leaders and who have brought positive recognition locally, statewide and nationally will receive the distinguished Maya Angelou Women Who Lead Award.

Named after loyal UNCF supporter, the late Dr. Maya Angelou, the luncheon annually honors women whose footprints positively impact our state and regional community. Proceeds from the luncheon will be used to benefit students in North Carolina and the historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) that educate them.
