the kwanzaa ball
Join us for a night of culture, cooperative joy and honorees.
After another powerful year together — from community programming to our ongoing work toward Juneteenth in Queens 2026 — I’m excited to invite you to a new cultural tradition for our community:
✨ The Kwanzaa Ball: A Night of Culture & Cooperative Joy
Saturday, December 28 • 6 PM • Queens, NY**
This is a family-centered Kwanzaa celebration rooted in unity, purpose, and community uplift. We’ll honor the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) with music, joy, youth leadership, and meaningful recognition of the people who make Southeast Queens stronger.
This year, we’re honoring:
Senator Leroy Comrie
Saeeda Dunston, CEO of Elmcor Youth & Adult Activities
Kevin Livingston, Founder of 100 Suits
Kesi Gordon, Youth & Community Advocate
…and more honorees on the way.
