A Night of Excellence: The Gentlemen’s Gala Celebrates 10 Years of Purpose, Power & Prestige

Mark your calendars and prepare your finest white attire. On Saturday, June 7, 2025, The Gentlemen’s Course, Inc. will celebrate a major milestone with the 10th Annual Gentlemen’s Gala: All White Affair, hosted at the elegant Fort Harrison Grand Auditorium in Clearwater, Florida. Red carpet arrivals begin at 5:30 PM, setting the tone for an evening that blends community, culture, and class.

This year’s event honors a decade of empowering youth and building strong male leaders through mentorship and education. Spearheaded by Christopher King, founder of The Gentlemen’s Course and President of United for Human Rights Florida, the gala will celebrate individuals who have dedicated their lives to service and upliftment.

The evening will feature dynamic keynote speaker Taj Mahal, alongside the presentation of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—a distinguished honor recognizing individuals who’ve made a lasting impact in their communities. Honorees include Gary Hartfield, Kelvin Pruitt, Anjali “Queen B” McGuire, and more.

King has long been a champion for youth development and human rights. The Gentlemen’s Gala serves as the annual fundraising event for The Gentlemen’s Course, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching etiquette, leadership, and character to young men across Florida and beyond. With a guiding belief that “if we change our youth, they will change our future,” the organization has equipped hundreds of students with life skills and confidence that last a lifetime.
