2025 EQUALibrium Awards Gala
A celebration of equity champions in the Charlotte region
WFAE proudly presents the second annual EQUALibrium Awards Gala on June 5, 2025 — a distinguished celebration honoring extraordinary Charlotte-area residents who are advancing equity and transformative change across the region.
The EQUALibrium Awards Gala recognizes leaders in government, education, arts and culture, health care, social justice, economic mobility/empowerment, and sports — individuals whose dedication and impact have created meaningful opportunities and access for many in this region.
Through this gala, WFAE amplifies the voices and achievements of those working to ensure everyone in our community has the resources to thrive.
The evening will feature powerful speakers, dynamic performances and an inspiring awards ceremony. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, participate in meaningful conversations, and draw inspiration from shared stories and experiences.
Join us in honoring the resilience, courage and commitment of these changemakers who are shaping a more inclusive and equitable future for the Charlotte region.
Thank you to our sponsors!
