Rhythm & Roots, the annual fundraiser for Foundation For Black Philanthropy, is an evening where music, history and philanthropy come together to celebrate the legacy of Black philanthropy and the generosity, leadership and cultural contributions that continue to shape Charlotte. 

This year’s theme, Soul Amplified, honors the enduring spirit and impact of Black philanthropy. Inspired by the power, emotion and storytelling of Blues, Soul and contemporary Black music, the evening pays tribute to changemakers whose vision and generosity have strengthened our community and continue to resonate across generations.
