About Our Event


In 2024, Crazy Love Africa is celebrating its 10th year of empowering women living with HIV in Uganda and is thrilled to commemorate it at the "A Night in Africa Gala." This year, the focus is on enhancing support for programs through the completion of Crazy Love Africa's Community Center. The center will provide a secure environment for vulnerable women in Ugandan villages to access training and assistance. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to establish the Community Center in 2025, and your contribution will make this possible. Join us for an evening of African beauty and elegance as we unite to raise funds for Crazy Love Africa.

2025 marks Crazy Love Africa’s 11th year—and we’re thrilled to celebrate with you at our 2nd Annual Gala. This year’s proceeds will primarily support our Youth Education Programs. In Uganda, school is not free—and without financial support, many children are unable to attend. Your generosity will ensure that every child in our program has the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a brighter future through education.

Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring inspirational guest speakers, and a night filled with entertainment and dancing with DJ Blaque Gurl. Enjoy gourmet heavy hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, an inspiring silent auction, and the vibrant Ugandan Market showcasing handmade goods from the women we serve.
