An Inspirational Evening with Lasting Impact.
The 2019 Beloved Benefit is an experience unlike any other. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Beloved Community, this rare evening brings together citizens and celebrities, leaders and residents, clergy and professionals -- all united around Atlanta’s Westside neighborhoods.
This inspiring evening includes notable speakers, award-winning musicians, powerful stories, and delicious fare. Hosted in the electric Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the evening will celebrate and honor the life-changing work already underway in Atlanta's Westside.
About the Westside
Atlanta’s Westside is a community with both major historical relevance and a strong heart. Once a flourishing part of the nation’s civil rights movement, Atlanta’s Westside has since been left behind. As part of the Beloved Community, it's our responsibility to restore every part of our city. Because when one suffers, we all suffer. But exciting, life-changing work is underway in the neighborhoods of Atlanta's Westside. And we can all be a part of that change.
An Inspired Name
The Beloved name was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s vision of the Beloved Community. Mentioned throughout his speeches and writings, Dr. King believed the Beloved Community was not a lofty ideal, but instead a realistic goal achieved by a group of people committed to nonviolent beliefs and actions. In the Beloved Community, poverty, hunger, and homelessness would not be tolerated, and racism, prejudice, discrimination, and bigotry would be replaced by brotherhood. The hope and spirit of the Beloved Community serve as the creative fuel for every aspect of the Beloved Benefit.
