About the event
In collaboration with The Beat on Market Street, For the Culture brings you a space for Black professionals and other communities to come together, build relationships, exchange ideas, and strengthen connections that extend beyond a single evening.
The Professional Black Networking Event & Transitional Housing Fundraiser, hosted by First Followers, is designed to create meaningful opportunities for professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, nonprofit leaders, educators, public servants, students, and aspiring leaders to meet one another in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Whether you're looking for your next career opportunity, searching for collaborators, hoping to expand your professional network, or simply wanting to connect with others doing impactful work throughout Champaign-Urbana, this event was created with community in mind.
Throughout the evening, guests will participate in networking activities, conversations, and relationship-building opportunities while learning more about First Followers and their efforts to support transitional housing and successful reentry within our community.
