Annual Black Tie Scholarship Gala
The Annual Black Tie Scholarship Gala is an evening of elegance and excellence dedicated to celebrating “community servant leaders” and investing in the leaders of tomorrow. As the Foundation’s most prestigious event, the Gala recognizes individuals who have reached the pinnacle of their careers in fields like education, law, and science, honoring those who have made significant contributions to society over a sustained period. Through the presentation of awards such as the Lifetime Achievement and Trailblazer Awards, the evening highlights the pioneers and innovators who serve as exceptional role models for our community.
More than just a celebration, the Gala is a vital fundraiser that fuels the Foundation’s mission of providing scholarships, grants, and mentoring services to Chesapeake youth. These efforts have a profound impact, with over $264,950.00 distributed to date to help students reduce the cost of their education and access necessary school supplies. Your support during this event directly contributes to the success of local students, ensuring we continue “forging ahead and striving for excellence” by passing the torch to the next generation.
