40 Years of Intentional Advocacy: Empowering Our Women and Girls Gala

The Metropolitan St. Louis Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. will host its 40-Year Gala Event on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at the Moto Museum in midtown St. Louis. We are inviting you to be a part of this historic event.

Our mission is “To advocate on behalf of black women and girls to promote leadership development and gender equity in health, education, and economic empowerment.” Our vision is to see black women and girls live in a world where socio-economic inequity does not exist. Our Gala is an event that will help raise funds for our programs.

The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. (NCBW) Metropolitan Saint Louis Chapter was chartered on March 10, 1984, by the late Dr. Fredda Witherspoon, educator, and civic leader. NCBW has dedicated itself as an effective force in the greater St. Louis area to address issues that affect our St. Louis community and serve as positive role models in the personal and professional development of women and children.

This 40th Year Celebration Black Tie Gala is one of the many events that help raise funds for our programs.
