Appropriately, the Embracing Excellence Gala takes place at HyVee Hall in downtown Des Moines.  The majestic cultural affair begins as guests arrive fashionably elegant and prepared for the red-carpet treatment that they are about to receive.  As a gesture of welcome members of the Advisory Board will honor each guest with the placing of this years commemorative kente cloth scarves over the shoulder.

Guests then partake in royal spread of delectable, inviting soul food and fine wine fit for a King.  As the crowd mingles, the sounds of rich jazz, blues and Rhythm & Blues drift through out the space performed by one of IMMAWII’s finest bands.  The majestic evening concludes with the presentation of the 2006 Heritage Legacy Awards in the Youth, Organization and Individual divisions, IMMAWII Sponsor Recognition and words from Warner and featured Speakers.

Tickets for the event are $50.00.  Gala Gold Groups (organizations purchasing a group of 10 tickets or more) will be recognized on the Gala playbill. You can reserve your tickets by clicking on the following button and using your credit card or Paypal:
