Overview

Where Black Culture Builds Community

What began as a movement in San Benito County is now taking flight into neighboring Santa Clara County. In proud collaboration with Gavilan College, BeProximity invites you to the beautiful Gavilan College Student Center in Gilroy for an unforgettable evening celebrating Black history, honoring Black excellence, and sharing the richness of Black culture while inviting the entire community to learn, connect, and celebrate together.

Prepare for an elegant Black-Tie celebration where Black culture takes center stage through unforgettable cuisine, inspiring conversation, powerful performances, music, dancing, and community.

Join BeProximity for the 2027 Black History Month Gala, our signature regional experience designed to honor our past, examine our present, celebrate Black excellence, and inspire a brighter future through education, meaningful conversation, and joyful celebration.

Together, we'll reflect on where we've been, engage honestly with where we are, and imagine what's possible when a community chooses to grow together.
