Black Tie and High Tops Gala

2009 Black Tie and High Tops Gala & Auction

Replacing our Yellow Tie Gala in 2008, the Black Tie & High Tops Gala brought about a new tradition in Richmond for watching the NCAA’s College Basketball’s Final Four. 

During the Final Four, we are down on the Court at the University of Richmond’s Robin’s Center watching large-screen TVs, enjoying plenty of great food and drinks, and bidding on silent and live auction items.   

Even though our Big Brothers and Sisters volunteer, BBBS incurs real costs in safety screening of volunteers and supporting the mentoring relationship. We estimate that each match has an annual cost of $1,110. Your support at the Black Tie and High Tops Gala helped to ensure that more Richmond area children are able to share the magic created when one person cares about another person.
