UNCF “A MIND IS…” GALA RAISES $700,000

It promised glitz and glamour, top-line entertainment, an artist’s utopia, music, dancing, scrumptious gourmet dining and hundreds of thousands of dollars raised in scholarship monies. And the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) “A Mind Is…” Gala did not disappoint. Held recently at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, the festive affair, which included a thousand attendees, was a spectacular party filled with an important purpose – to help more students get to and through college.
