The 38th Annual UNCF Mayor's Masked Ball In Atlanta

What a nice time I had over the weekend attending the 38th Annual Atlanta UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball! It was also a little bittersweet though because this was the last year that honorable Keisha Lance Bottoms would host the extravagant affair!

This year the guest list was cut down tremendously with safety precautions due to Covid-19 but once you arrived you couldn’t tell because it was still filled with lots of attendees. I liked the fact that once you arrived, they gave rapid Covid tests from medical students from Morehouse College. Most people wore their mask throughout the entire event. I had one done right there and it was negative thank goodness. The event was held at Atlanta Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta.

The presenting sponsor of this year’s event was Georgia Power. Founded in 1983, the annual event is Atlanta’s premier holiday season social soiree gathering the movers and shakers of the city, including Mayor Bottoms; Dr. Michael L. Lomax, president and CEO, UNCF; and event co-chairs Bentina Chisolm Terry, senior vice president, metro Atlanta and corporate, Georgia Power, and Charmaine Ward-Miller, director, corporate relations, Georgia Power.

The event is to provide support and impact for HBCU’s and their students. At the lovely event, Georgia Power donated a huge contribution of $500,000! In total, the masked ball raised over 1.5 million dollars, congratulations to them! The Mistress of Ceremony was Actress Lynn Whitfield and the entertainment for the evening was Singer Anthony Hamilton, he did a phenomenal job too!

Step inside to take a peek at what took place and see all the lovely looks in the room. I was extremely impressed! Hoping everyone has a wonderful week ahead! xoxo
