The Legacy Affair
Legacy in Gold.
Wear your pride. Bring your people.
Celebrate the legacy we carry—and the future we build.
Alumni reception · 5–8 PM Central (CST) · Twin Cities, Minnesota · Venue to be announced
A little polish. A lot of pride.
HBCU spirit. Twin Cities energy.
The summit opens doors. The evening brings us together. Join alumni, friends and community for a semi-formal social with a silent auction, celebrating the music, connections and culture that make HBCU pride unforgettable.
This is a social celebration with space to mingle and dance, without a seated dinner. Daytime summit attendance remains free for students and families.
The evening we’re planning
Come for the connection.
Stay for the celebration.
Your people, your pride
Alumni connections, school shout-outs and new friendships across campuses and generations.
Make a little history
A planned photo moment and a brief celebration of the legacy and excellence that bring us together.
Light bites & refreshments
Light refreshments are planned. Enjoy dinner before arriving; this evening does not include a seated meal.

Part of The Legacy Affair
Silent auction.
Browse auction items, place your bids and enjoy a little friendly competition while reconnecting with alumni, friends and community.
Auction items, bidding times, collection arrangements and payment details will be announced before the event.
Offer an auction item or ask a questionThe dress code
Semi-formal.
Make it yours. Make it gold.
Think cocktail dresses, polished jumpsuits, tailored suits, dress shirts, blazers and dressy separates. Add a touch of gold—a pocket square, jewelry, shoes or another favorite accent—or bring your HBCU colors into the look.
Gold is an invitation, not a requirement. You do not need an all-gold outfit or a tuxedo. Choose comfortable shoes and come ready to celebrate.
Giving back to the next generation
Celebrating legacy.
Investing in children’s education.
HBCU TwinCities will make a contribution to support children’s education and announce the details at the February 19–20, 2027 event. Come celebrate the community helping make educational opportunity possible.
The contribution amount, recipient and how the support will be used will be announced at the event.
