Please join us for our 4th Annual Special Honors & Scholarship Gala on Saturday, November 8 at the Embassy of France. The event will commemorate our chapter’s 50th anniversary. We will also recognize and honor local Black journalists, communications professionals and students for their career achievements, leadership and community service. 

The gala is WABJ’s largest annual fundraiser to support our longstanding Urban Journalism Workshop for local high school students, scholarships, and year-round professional development programming.

WABJ relies on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations to support our critical, volunteer-led initiatives. By partnering with us as a gala sponsor, your support will help further our mission and position your brand as a champion of media excellence and integrity. Please email awards@wabjdc.org for inquiries. 

Nominations for award honorees are now being accepted. Please submit all nominations by August 28.

Information on tickets and table sales will be announced in the coming weeks.

We hope to see you there!
