It's our fifth year hosting The 1865 Legends Ball, and this year our theme highlights the contributions of various nationalities, despite discrimination, genocide, slavery, and hardship, to the maintenance of America and its freedoms. From the Indigenous to the African Diaspora, our nation would not exist without the sacrifices of heroes and the contributions of their descendants. Join us for our annual cultural black-tie event and fundraiser, as we celebrate legendary men and women of diverse heritage and backgrounds from communities across Alabama, Georgia, and Florida!
The annual 1865 Legends Ball is a highly anticipated and prestigious black-tie fundraiser that serves as a grand awards ceremony dedicated to honoring 10 distinguished Legends, individuals who have made significant contributions to the black and African diasporic communities. Additionally, the event recognizes up to 10 Preludes, emerging talents and promising figures who are making their mark in various fields. This cultural immersion event is not just a gathering; it is an enriching experience that showcases the depth and richness of black culture and heritage.

Attendees of the 1865 Legends Ball can look forward to an evening filled with LIVE performances that highlight a diverse range of artistic expressions, including music, and spoken word. These performances are designed to captivate the audience and celebrate the vibrant traditions and contemporary innovations within the black cultural landscape and beyond.

In addition to the spectacular performances, guests will be treated to an exquisite array of cuisine that reflects the culinary traditions of diversity.Click the link to learn more about tickets our reach out to our team to become a sponsor!
