The 32nd UNCF Annual Gala is the highlight of the annual fundraising campaign for the UNCF Houston area office. This year, things are a little different…

The 2020 Annual “A Mind Is…” Gala is going to be a movie night! We will be showing the Paramount’s “Dreamgirls, the Director’s Cut,” in a drive-in setting, so you can settle in, enjoy your snacks and help send area students to and through college.

Virtual appearance by the original “Lorrell,” Loretta Devine!

Entry is $250 per vehicle.

Sponsorship opportunities are available.

The 37th annual UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball Atlanta is a premier fundraising gala and major social event focusing on raising awareness of the need and benefits of a college education, the students UNCF serves and the contributions of historically Black colleges and universities.

This year’s event will be virtual!

Hosted by a diverse group of corporate sponsors, local businesses and professional organizations the Mayor’s Masked Ball Atlanta is an evening of celebration attended by national celebrities, civic leaders, alumni, dignitaries, volunteers and friends of UNCF.

This must-attend event is full of fun, fashion, glitz and glamour that supports UNCF’s mission of investing in better futures for the young men and women we serve and by helping them move to and through college.

Presented by UNCF Atlanta.
