Beyond The Mask: A Sultry Soirée Beneath the Beads & Moonlight

Step into a world where mystery meets decadence, and every glance behind a mask holds a secret. Welcome to “A Day Beyond The Mask”: A Mardi Gras Affair”—an enchanting day of elegance, allure, and purpose.

As velvet shadows dance with candlelight and music whispers through the air, you'll find yourself swept into a celebration of New Orleans flair—where feathers, sequins, and seduction reign supreme. But behind the glamour lies a noble cause: every ticket, every toast, every twirl on the dance floor helps us raise vital funds for the AAMU Torchbearers Initiative – celebrating 150 years.

So don your most dazzling disguise, sip something sparkling, and let the rhythm of the night guide you. Because when the masks come off, the magic—and the impact—are unforgettable.

Let the good times roll—for a cause that matters.
