Tri-County Urban League Presents The 25th Annual Black & White Gala: “The Sound of Opportunity”
FEATURING VICTOR SOLOMON
For 25 years, the Tri-County Urban League’s Black and White Gala has been more than just an event - it has been a heartfelt celebration of hope, resilience, and possibility.
It is where our community gathers in black and white, united by the belief that opportunity should be within everyone’s reach. It is a space where bonds are strengthened, leaders are honored, and new visions for the future take shape.
On Saturday, April 11, 2026, we warmly invite you to join us at the Par-A-Dice Hotel in East Peoria for this milestone 25th Anniversary celebration. This year’s theme, The Sound of Opportunity, honors the progress we’ve made together and calls us forward to continue uplifting one another.
The evening will feature an inspiring live performance by Peoria native and nationally acclaimed recording artist Victor Solomon, along with a moving program highlighting the impact made possible through the generosity and partnership of supporters like you.
