ARCHIVED EVENTS

A Look Back at the 2023 Gala
Thank you to everyone who joined us at our 2023 gala, “Knight of Soul,” on September 9, 2023 at the Altria Theater. It was a truly spectacular event, and we’ll long remember the joy of watching our talented musicians perform alongside the one and only Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight.

We are incredibly grateful for the support of our patrons, donors, and community. Funds raised during the gala, our premier annual fundraiser, will help make possible many exciting events, initiatives, and opportunities in the days and years ahead.
