The United Negro College Fund’s Mayor’s Masked Ball is both a premier social gathering and a powerful fundraising initiative dedicated to promoting the value and impact of higher education. The event not only raises critical awareness around college access but also provides scholarships for students supported by UNCF, while spotlighting the vital role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Although similar events are hosted in cities nationwide, the 42nd edition of this signature celebration will be held at the Signia by Hilton Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Atlanta.
