Experience the Magic. Fuel the Mission.

Step into an evening where celebration meets purpose. Diner and Drinks included with a dance floor and more! Under the soft glow of chandeliers and the rhythm of a Prince-inspired live band, the ballroom comes alive in every shade of purple—lavender, plum, violet, and wine. Your "After-Five" attire isn't just fashion; it's a statement. Purple represents nobility, wisdom, imagination, and creativity—a symbol of unity, legacy, and the purpose that brings us together.

This is the AACA Loving Your Community Gala.

Every guest on the dance floor, every toast raised, every award presented, and every meaningful connection fuels something greater: education, mentorship, and opportunity for underserved youth. Through your presence, your ticket, your sponsorship—you become part of a powerful movement rooted in AACA's five pillars of service:

Underserved Youth Opportunity
Scholarship and Mentoring
Workforce Development
Educational and Cultural Enrichment
Increasing Historic Awareness

Whether you arrive in sequins, satin, or a sharp suit, your support helps us build bridges where barriers once stood. Together, we honor legacy and illuminate the path forward.
