Become a Sponsor and Make a Difference

 

We are thrilled to announce the 88th Annual Royal Aikenites Holiday Gala & Scholarship Ball, a premier New Year’s Eve celebration taking place on Thursday, December 31, 2026, at The Crowne Plaza in North Augusta, SC, from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. All proceeds from this signature event directly benefit The Royal Aikenites Educational Scholarship Fund.

 

With a rich history dating back to our founding in 1928, the Royal Aikenites have been steadfast in our commitment to uplifting our community. Originally established as a space for African American men in Aiken County to discuss political and social issues, our organization has grown and evolved. Our mission now extends to empowering the next generation through education, providing scholarships to deserving high school students in the Aiken County Public School District.

 

We invite you to join us in this effort by becoming a sponsor of this year's Holiday Gala & Scholarship Ball. Your contribution will directly support our scholarship fund, helping to open doors for students who aspire to achieve their educational goals. We've outlined the various sponsorship tiers on the attached page, offering multiple ways to make a difference and have your generosity recognized at the event.

 

We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this request and hope you'll join us in making this year's event our most impactful one yet. Please make checks payable to The Royal Aikenites and mail them to: PO Box 2793, Aiken, SC 29802.
