Our Signature Events

Gourmet Gents, launched in 1990, is the Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter’s first and longest-standing signature fundraising event. Each year, Atlanta’s professional men, civic leaders, business executives, and community supporters come together to volunteer their time, culinary talents, and resources in support of advocacy for women and girls. Featuring volunteer chefs, cuisine from premier Atlanta restaurants, and live entertainment, Gourmet Gents raises critical funding for the Teens on the Move-100 Mentoring Program. Proceeds directly support youth leadership development, education access, and scholarship opportunities—transforming advocacy into action for the next generation.

 The Unsung Heroines Gala is an annual event honoring women whose leadership, service, and advocacy quietly strengthen families and communities across Metropolitan Atlanta. This celebration brings together community leaders, professionals, and supporters to recognize women whose impact is often unseen but deeply felt. Proceeds from the gala directly support Sisters Helping Sisters, NCBW-MAC’s economic empowerment initiative that provides resources, assistance, and support to women navigating financial hardship. Unsung Heroines reflects our commitment to advocacy rooted in dignity, compassion, and community care—uplifting women while strengthening pathways to stability and self-sufficiency.

Join us as we celebrate advocacy in action—August each year. 

 Tee Off for Teens is an annual golf tournament that brings together corporate partners, civic leaders, and community supporters to invest in the academic futures of young women. Hosted each June, the tournament raises critical funding for NCBW-MAC’s scholarship program, supporting students participating in Teens on the Move-100. To date, the chapter has awarded over $1,000,000 in scholarships, helping young women pursue postsecondary education at institutions including Spelman College, Howard University, University of Miami, and Georgia State University. Tee Off for Teens transforms partnership and philanthropy into opportunity—advancing education advocacy one swing at a time.

 The Leadership Summit is a signature convening designed to empower women and community leaders through education, advocacy, and ethical leadership. Anchored in NCBW-MAC’s core pillars—future-focused leadership, advocacy in action, and integrity—the summit features dynamic discussions and practical strategies across education, health, public policy, and economic empowerment. Participants engage with thought leaders, strengthen leadership capacity, and gain tools to influence change within their communities. The summit often coincides with the chapter’s Induction Weekend, celebrating new members and reinforcing a shared commitment to service, unity, and generational impact.
