This year marks the inaugural UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball, formerly known as the UNCF/Liberty Bank Ball in the City. The Inaugural UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball will be one of New Orleans signature fundraising galas and premier social events of the year. The ball is hosted by UNCF and local corporate sponsors. Its purpose is to involve celebrities, dignitaries, civic leaders, volunteers, public officials and other supporters in the annual local fundraising activities of UNCF. The Honorable Mitchell J. Landrieu, mayor of New Orleans, will deliver special remarks and recognitions.

This strictly formal black-tie-and-mask event celebrates and supports education in Louisiana and provides funding to the two local UNCF schools, Dillard and Xavier Universities. Hosted by the Hyatt Regency New Orleans, this elegant event will showcase national live entertainment, elegant dining prepared by celebrity chefs, dancing, students' testimonials, red carpet and the parade of masks!
