600 N. Broad Street | Philadelphia, PA 19130
The annual Black & Gold Gala is the signature fundraising event for the Community College of Philadelphia Foundation—and one of greater Philadelphia’s premier social occasions.
We are pleased to announce that the Honorable Cherelle L. Parker, 100th Mayor of the City of Philadelphia, will serve as the Gala's honorary chair.
The Black & Gold Gala is a reception-style affair filled with delicious food and drinks throughout the evening. Dance the night away with music from Renaissance Orchestra and DJ Touchtone. Valet parking will be available for all guests. Please dress to impress; formal attire is encouraged.
The purpose of the Black & Gold Gala is to recognize outstanding service of individuals and/or organizations that demonstrate involvement in community growth in the areas of education, business, social services, and health. This recognition is awarded to those who exemplify leadership and are active in community initiatives in Philadelphia.
Event proceeds will benefit scholarships for Community College of Philadelphia students.
