Hosted by The Dapper Men Company in support of The Dapper Promise Foundation, this annual charity event brings together community leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and supporters for an evening where fashion, culture, and entertainment are used to create greater community impact.

Proceeds and support generated through the gala benefit The Dapper Promise Foundation’s youth-focused initiatives throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. Our work helps provide underserved students with access to mentorship, educational enrichment, college and career readiness, leadership development, financial literacy, and professional and formal attire for important milestones such as prom, graduation, and job interviews.

The evening will also feature our annual Suit & Clothes Drive, encouraging attendees and community members to donate new or gently worn suits, professional clothing, formalwear, and other appropriate garments for students in need.

Guests will experience live R&B performances, DJ entertainment, networking, complimentary champagne, community impact programming, and sponsor experiences. VIP guests will also have access to our Afro House VIP Lounge, featuring Afrobeats and international sounds, an African-inspired food experience, and additional VIP amenities.
