The Cincinnati NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner will be held this year on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 6 p.m. at the Sharonville Convention Center.
Tickets are on sale now, and the cost is $95 per person. The dinner will include honors of annual Awardees and an array of entertainment. We are extremely excited that this year’s group of awardees are leading the charge in our communities.
The designated theme for this year’s dinner is, “Unbought & Unbossed,” it echoes the sentiment of the first African American Woman to run for the presidency of the United States of America. Each year we collectively reaffirm our commitment to justice and the pursuit of a society where we all thrive together. Having devised a comprehensive plan to propel justice forward throughout the year, we implement the lessons learned back to our communities. And through our unified, strategic efforts, we will continue to build a brighter future for Black America.
The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was established in 1909 and is America’s oldest and boldest, largest and most renowned, well-equipped and most respected Civil Rights organization that exists. It was formed by both Black and White activists, specifically in response to the ongoing violence and lynchings of African Americans around the country.
To be clear, the mission of the NAACP is to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of rights of ALL persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination. Now, more than ever, the mission is relevant and vital. We will continue the fight against racial disparities and injustice until it is won. Enlisting the participation of all social justice warriors and freedom fighters who share our core values and mission, we can accomplish our goals of creating a society in which we may all have the opportunity to excel to our highest height.
The Cincinnati NAACP Annual Freedom Fund Dinner is a long-standing tradition that brings together NAACP members and community supporters to raise funds to support the operations of our local Branch. At the level where we have been diligently working to eliminate discrimination and inequalities for over a decade, since 1915 in 52 neighborhoods and our surrounding communities.
Every day we focus on key areas for the benefit of our communities: Voter education and empowerment, criminal justice reforms, public safety, racial health disparities, and economic inclusion, serving women and children, and other aspects. We couldn’t do the work that we do and fight toward our mission without the generous support of our community, and the monetary support of our allies and partners.
