The Arizona State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) invites you to support its Annual NAACP Holiday Gala Extravaganza Fundraiser. The dinner is an established tradition for NAACP Branches across the country which allows them to raise critical funds to effect change and advance the cause of civil and human rights in America. In addition, the Gala provides an opportunity to recognize community leaders, local businesses and national corporations, as well as emerging leaders — all of whom are actively challenging society to end discrimination, embrace diversity and ensure greater opportunity for all people.
The Arizona State Conference NAACP, a chartered state conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People since 1915, will hold our annual Arizona State NAACP Holiday Gala Extravaganza Fundraiser.
The event will raise funds to assist our branches throughout the state of Arizona in their community endeavors. It also will help prepare and assist our youth today to be our leaders of tomorrow.
For 109 years, since 1909, the National NAACP – with more than 2,500 branches throughout the United States – has been an advocate for political, educational, social and economic justice in every aspect of public life in our society.
