On behalf of the Savannah Branch of the NAACP, organizers are calling on local businesses, churches, and families to join the annual Freedom Fund Banquet, a fundraiser that supports civil‑rights programs throughout the Savannah area.
Event details
The banquet will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026, in the Student Union Ballroom at Savannah State University. Doors open for cocktails at 5:30 p.m., and the formal dinner begins at 6:00 p.m.
Ticket pricing is straightforward: individual tickets are $150, and a table of ten seats can be purchased for $1,500. Both options include a seat at the banquet and a placement for an advertisement in the event’s journal booklet, offering sponsors visibility among community leaders and supporters.
How to purchase
Tickets will be available for purchase at the NAACP office beginning Wednesday, September 23. They will also be sold at the September MASS (Member Appreciation and Support Services) Meeting. Interested parties can call the office directly at (912) 233‑4161 for assistance or to arrange bulk purchases.
Why the Freedom Fund matters
The Freedom Fund Banquet is a key source of funding for the Savannah Branch’s ongoing work, which includes voter‑registration drives, youth mentorship programs, and legal assistance for residents facing discrimination. Proceeds help sustain these initiatives and expand outreach to underserved neighborhoods.
Community leaders have repeatedly emphasized that strong, faith‑based families and individual liberty thrive when civil‑rights organizations have the resources to protect constitutional freedoms and promote equal opportunity.
Community response
Local business owners and church groups have already expressed enthusiasm for the event, noting that supporting the banquet aligns with the shared values of family, faith, and liberty that many Savannah residents hold dear. Several chambers of commerce have offered to promote the banquet through their newsletters and social‑media channels.
Organizers encourage anyone who can attend, whether as a guest, a table sponsor, or an advertiser, to consider the banquet an investment in the future of Savannah’s neighborhoods.

For more information, to reserve a table, or to place an ad in the journal booklet, please call the Savannah NAACP office at (912) 233‑4161 or visit the office during regular business hours.
