UNCF’s Women of Faith for Education Afternoon Tea is one of the most anticipated events of the year. We honor “spirit-filled” women from the Philadelphia region who have contributed to the cause of education for our young people—the leaders of the past, present and future. You will be joining an illustrious group, while supporting a worthy cause, by participating in our afternoon tea at one of the premier sponsorship levels.

Please take a few minutes to review the sponsorship opportunities included in this package. UNCF, our member colleges and universities, and the young people we serve need your support now more than ever.

Gala Noir will target and honor young professionals and rising leaders. The goal of the campaign and event is to develop, cultivate and engage a new donor pipeline to support the long-term sustainability of the organization. Gala Noir is a formal cocktail reception featuring the Torch Awards to be held in Washington, DC annually.

The Torch Awards will recognize and honor three young professionals making a positive impact in urban communities in the areas of entrepreneurship, education, art, and advocacy work.

The annual New Jersey UNCF Masked Ball will celebrate our mission and legacy of serving our member historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and students of color. We also will continue a tradition of honoring the Garden State’s UNCF supporters who, through their generous philanthropy, have helped provide higher education opportunities to deserving young men and women across our great state. Proceeds will support UNCF’s mission of building a robust pipeline of underrepresented college graduates, in addition to investing in the future of highly motivated and deserving students from New Jersey.

UNCF Portland is proud to announce that The Each One Teach One event is back and revamped into a wondrous Jazz Luncheon. This in-person luncheon will bring together Portland area business, civic, and education leaders to support UNCF’s work to create a college-ready culture that provides students with the support they need to get to and through college.

UNCF seeks to increase educational opportunities for minority students in our community and increase the educated workforce pipeline in our nation.

The pandemic has brought to light unexpected challenges and support is needed now more than ever. With your contribution, together we can help students access technology to continue their studies, and help institutions respond to emerging crises and provide emergency financial aid.

Come out and join us on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at *Belle Isle State Park (near the Casino) as we walk to help kids get to and successfully through college.
