Welcome to The Fifth Act

BasBlue’s 5th Annual Gala on Friday, September 18th, is a milestone celebration of community, progress and purpose. What began five years ago as a bold idea to create space for women and nonbinary individuals to connect, grow, and lead has evolved into a thriving, inclusive ecosystem nearly 600 members strong—half of whom live right here in Detroit. This event honors the journeys of our members and calls on our community to invest in a future where access, opportunity, and belonging are foundational. Every dollar raised fuels mentorship, economic mobility, creative expression and lasting impact for the leaders of today and tomorrow.
