about the main funding source, the gala
Each year, our signature event, the Captains of Industry Gala, raises money for the Dr. William Bradford Scholarship Fund. Monies are awarded to African American students interested in careers in business. The fund also provides grants to organizations and initiatives focused on education.
In addition to networking with leaders of majority corporations, the annual event also acts as a platform to provide recognition to people who display excellence in Economic Development, Legislative Action, Education, Community Service, Public Affairs and Lifetime Achievement. Recipients receive the Tabor 100 Crystal Eagle Award.
