This year’s fundraising recipient will be Fence at the Top (fenceatthetop.com), a mentoring program for at-risk youth in Sonoma County formed by Honor Jackson. 

This black tie gala will start with a VIP Reception from 4 to 5:30pm. Dinner will take place from 6 to 9pm and feature Cliff Branch, former Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders NFL Player and winner of Super Bowl XI, Super Bowl XV and Super Bowl XVIII, as the main keynote speaker. Dr. Aisha Lowe, executive director of Stand up (standup.org), an education non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring every child has the opportunity to attend an excellent public school, will also speak at the event. The dinner will end with dancing and live music by Ric Alexander from 9 to 11pm.

The North Bay Black Chamber has proudly held its annual fundraiser, Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, since 1996 to provide much-needed support to local youth programs, mentoring and scholarships for high school and college students.
