The Urban League will welcome R&B legend Freddie Jackson to its annual black-tie gala and silent auction.
The evening will begin with silent auction, followed by dinner, a program and recognition of honorees. Then will come the performance by Jackson, whose first album in 1985 became a breakthrough hit when the title track of “Rock Me Tonight” spent six weeks at No. 1 on the R&B charts.
Emcees will be Marsha Bonhart and Kyla Woods of WLWT. Tickets to the gala are $150.
The Urban League Young Professionals will host the “Suits and Sips Soiree” after-party. It will feature a DJ, live band and food. Gala tickets include entry. For after-party only, reservations are $30 and $50 (VIP).
