Community Calendar

The Debutante Cotillion, sponsored by the Charlotte Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the Deltas of Charlotte Foundation, offers high school seniors workshops, community exposure, and fundraising for college. Ball held April 4, 11, or 18, 2026. Email: deltadebutante@gmail.com.

Walk, walker or roll with us up to 5K! The Wheels & Walker-thon: Empowering Lives Through Mobility fundraiser will help Assist ME, an all-volunteer nonprofit, raise funding to provide medical mobility equipment such as wheelchairs and tub transfer benches to those in need throughout the greater Charlotte region.

We invite all abilities and disabilities to register and celebrate mobility freedom at their comfort level (up to 5K) at the fully accessible Park Road Park in Charlotte. Register solo or form a team! We'll be taking fun photos and live streaming on event day. Easy peer-to-peer fundraising tools are provided. Can't attend? Join our Virtual Walk & Rollers Club!

It may come as a surprise to many that it's hard for those with low incomes and little to no insurance (or have Medicaid gaps) to acquire the mobility equipment they need for accidents, surgery recovery or chronic conditions and disabilities. 75% of our recipients are ages 5-64. We quickly run out of wheelchairs and also accept gently used equipment (see our website for items accepted). Help us bridge these gaps by joining and sharing our event. Let's empower lives through mobility together!

Gates open at 8:00 a.m. with 9:00 a.m. start. Food trucks on site. Free water! Fully accessible with handicap parking and restrooms. Medical mobility devices only: No skateboards, bicycles or non-medical scooters, etc.

The African Children’s Choir is marking over four decades of transforming lives through the power of music, education and hope. As they embark on a tour of more than 100 cities, the Choir will continue to captivate audiences with their heartwarming performances with a show that blends traditional hymns and African cultural sounds, while sharing stories of God’s faithfulness through joyful worship.

Comprised of children ages 8 to 10, all from vulnerable backgrounds across Africa, the African Children’s Choir serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and potential of Africa’s future leaders. Each child in the Choir has faced significant hardship, often with limited access to education. Yet, through the Choir, these children gain life-changing opportunities for education and personal growth, becoming beacons of hope for their communities.

The African Children’s Choir is more than just a choir. It’s part of a larger, international, Christian organization called Music for Life, which provides thousands of impoverished children throughout Africa with the education, discipleship, and leadership skills needed to rise above their conditions so they can bring positive, lasting change to their families, communities, and countries.

The State of Black Health conference is where hundreds of community leaders and equity advocates from every background come to address themes and find solutions for the social and economic injustices that have marginalized Black communities and led to deep health disparities.

This year’s theme, A Call for Health Justice, is a summons for health equity advocates to present on the programs and initiatives that have helped move the needle toward improved health outcomes in our communities.

Within our Wellness and Chronic Disease Reduction, Institutional Reform, and Economic Advancement conference tracks, we offer stimulating panel discussions, engaging breakout sessions, and networking opportunities for attendees.
