Legacy Awards Live

By John Mangan | June 26, 2020

A fun, virtual spin on our biggest annual fundraising event

We are excited to invite you to participate in a fun, collaborative spin on our biggest annual fundraising event. For the first time ever, the Legacy Awards Gala will broadcast live from the BBBS headquarters and the homes of our 60th Anniversary Committee. Guests will attend one of several intimate dinner parties – happening concurrently throughout metro Atlanta – featuring an evening of cocktails, networking, exclusive chef-prepared dining and a live interactive event program.

You can join us for this special 60th anniversary milestone as we recognize deserving honorees, celebrate the power of mentoring, serenade guests with performances and entertainment, present experiential live and silent auction packages, and deliver a fundraising event that blends the best of live and virtual experiences.

Our agency has felt the impact of COVID-19, as we’ve worked hard to secure funds to continue to carry on our mission of supporting one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth. We appreciate our Legacy sponsors who are standing with us at this crucial moment.
