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.
