The National Black College Alumni (NBCA) Hall of Fame Foundation, Inc. is proud to present the 18th Annual Thomas W. Dortch, Jr.(TWD,Jr.) Taste of Heritage Gala, formerly the Chefs of the World event. We find ourselves in a moment of transformative reflection and reimagined greatness during an evening of culinary excellence and philanthropy set to take place at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta on Saturday, May 18, 2024, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

In honoring Mr. Dortch—a paragon of leadership and a beacon of hope and progress—the event transcends its former glory to embrace a broader mission. It's a mission steeped in his championed values: education, mentorship and unwavering commitment to community. Our founder's influence is the guiding star of this gala, as we endeavor not only to celebrate the culinary finesse that has always been our hallmark but also to amplify the cause closest to his heart—the empowerment of future generations through the support of HBCU students. Tommy's legacy inspires us as a revered global education and economic justice leader.

This event's evolution mirrors the journey of the exceptional individuals it celebrates--a path marked by aspiration, inspired by action and crowned with achievement. The 18th Annual Thomas W. Dortch, Jr. Taste of Heritage Gala is more than an event; it's a legacy brought to life, a narrative of excellence continued, and a beacon of hope for the countless lives it will undoubtedly touch.
