An impressive gathering of supporters, civic leaders, and education champions joined the festivities when UNCF (United Negro College Fund) Chicago hosted the 26th Annual UNCF “A Mind Is…” Gala to support student scholarships and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) member schools. The evening, held at The Geraghty recently, was a celebration of community, legacy, and the enduring belief that education is the most powerful investment society can make in its future.
