The Crown Ambassador Program is a community-powered giving initiative created to support Queen City’s Battle for the Crown, MLK Weekend 2027, and the long-term mission of the Macks Impact Foundation.

More than donors, Crown Ambassadors become advocates for culture, education, community impact, and the preservation of HBCU excellence.
This initiative helps support:

HBCU scholarships and band participation
Youth arts advocacy
Community programming
Cultural preservation
The “Road to 100K: Building the Crown” endowment initiative

Ambassadors receive exclusive experiences leading into Battle Weekend including:

Friday Ambassador Banquet access
General Admission and VIP experiences
Networking opportunities
Recognition and hospitality benefits
VIP parking opportunities
Community leadership engagement

Flexible payment plans are available through Givebutter to make participation accessible for supporters, businesses, alumni, creatives, and community leaders.

Join the movement. Build the crown. Own the sound.
