Founders “250” Jubilee
Presented by the Negro Leagues Family Alliance
📍 Arts Ballroom – 1324 Locust Street, Philadelphia

This special evening will feature a cabaret-style experience, reception, live jazz, and entertainment—bringing together generations to celebrate the pioneers and families who built the Negro Leagues.
It’s more than an event—it’s a tribute to a legacy that helped shape not just baseball, but American culture itself.
The Lasting Legacy
When Major League Baseball finally integrated, it marked both progress and loss. While doors opened, the Negro Leagues began to fade.
But today, their impact is finally receiving the recognition it deserves. Their statistics are being honored, their stories are being told, and their greatness is being cemented in history.
The Negro Leagues weren’t just a chapter in baseball history—they were a foundation.
They proved that greatness doesn’t need permission.
From legends like Satchel Paige…
To Philly’s own Roy Campanella…
To the celebration happening right here in the city…
Their legacy still lives on.
And now, Philadelphia gets to honor it—once again. for more information on the fundraising event go to: https://www.negroleaguesfamilyalliance.com/events
