Black Tie and Blue Jeans Gala
The 10th annual Black Tie and Blue Jeans Gala kicked off tonight inside the Hard Rock Casino.
This fundraiser honors ten accomplished and influential mentors of the Mississippi Gulf Coast with the Forever Young Award.
Forever Young candidates are persons of professional integrity who set examples with spirit of service to their professions.
Kaila Moran-Griffith, director of Coast Young Professionals, tells News 25 this is their biggest fundraiser that helps benefit their mission. “We’re able to give back to the community that we’re serving. For example, we use to do a young entrepreneur grant. We want to start a professional scholarship for members that are going back to graduate school and trying to get re-certified in a position at work. CYP members that are going through Leadership Gulf Coast, we have scholarships like that as well. This will help develop them more as leaders.”
