BasBlue hosted its inaugural gala fundraiser at its three-story space in Midtown on November 10. More than 240 guests came together to celebrate a robust year of the nonprofit’s accomplishments, which included building a diverse community of more than 700 members, hosting 150+ member programs, and successfully launching The BasBlue Foundation — an impact-focused vehicle providing educational access, career opportunities, and financial support to historically underrepresented and under-resourced individuals.

Dedicated to amplifying the women of Detroit, the BasBlue Gala highlighted local women-owned businesses, including event vendors, artists, musicians, spoken word lyricists, food experiences, and more. With the generous support of sponsors, donors, and partners, more than $240,000 was raised to support The BasBlue Foundation.

SUPPORT BASBLUE IN 2025

Since we opened our doors in 2021, BasBlue has helped over 700 women and non-binary individuals each year overcome gender-based inequities, find support, develop professionally, and find a place to belong–and our future is bright.

In 2025, we’re designing experiences that amplify women and non-binary leaders’ potential, and we can’t do it without your help.
