Jesse Cosby 59th Annual Black & White Gala

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the Jesse Cosby Annual 59th Black & White Gala!

This year’s theme, Rooted in Resilience, honors generations of families who have weathered hardship and remained deeply connected to community. This signature event brings together local leaders, businesses, and supporters for an evening of connection, celebration, and impact. Our fundraising goal is $50,000+ to support Jesse Cosby Center programs throughout 2026–2027.

This in-person event promises a night full of style, fun, and great company. Dress to impress in your best black and white attire and get ready to mingle, dance, and celebrate. Don’t miss out on this fabulous night where elegance meets excitement!
