The 100 Black Men of Atlanta, Inc. 100 Honors Gala is a celebratory black-tie fundraising event honoring four decades of leadership, service, mentorship, and impact throughout the Atlanta community. As one of the organization’s premier fundraising events, this year’s gala will place a special emphasis on raising critical scholarship funds to support Project Success scholars as they pursue college, career pathways, leadership development, and future success.

This milestone evening will bring together stakeholders, partners, supporters, members, and distinguished guests for a powerful celebration of the organization’s past, present, and future legacy. Through an inspiring evening of recognition, entertainment, and philanthropy, attendees will experience the life-changing impact of Project Success and hear stories of resilience, perseverance, and achievement from the young people we are privileged to support.

Hosted at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, the gala will honor outstanding leaders whose demonstrated excellence, notable accomplishments, and commitment to service reflect a deep passion for making a meaningful difference in the Atlanta community. Guests will enjoy dinner and cocktail service, a silent auction benefiting Project Success scholarships and programs, live entertainment, and a memorable evening dedicated to celebrating impact while investing in the next generation of scholars.

With more than 700 distinguished guests anticipated, the 100 Honors Gala: Celebrating 40 Years of Mentorship, Scholarship, and Community Impact will serve as both a celebration of legacy and a call to action: to continue opening doors of opportunity for our scholars and ensuring they have the support needed to achieve success beyond what they once imagined.
