As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, this year’s gala feels especially significant. At a moment when conversations around equity, justice, democracy, representation, and opportunity continue shaping the future of our communities, the Empowerment Gala will serve as both a celebration and a reminder of the collective power that exists when communities come together intentionally.

During their first year, when many students from under-resourced communities struggle most, they are not alone. They have guidance. They have access. They have people to call when things feel overwhelming.

Sponsors make this mission possible. Your support powers year-round work that helps Black Americans and other historically underserved people gain education, jobs, housing, capital, health access, and civic power across 10 counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.
