Our First-Ever Masquerade Gala
An Evening of Purpose, Passion & Possibility
We are excited to invite you to an unforgettable night celebrating MAQ Mentoring’s very first Gala—a powerful milestone in our journey to uplift and empower girls across North and South Carolina.
This Masquerade Gala is more than just an event—it’s a declaration of who we are, what we stand for, and where we’re going.
As a nonprofit serving girls in grades 3 through 12 (and now ages 5–8 through our MAQ Minis program), we’ve spent years showing up for the girls who need it most—girls who are gifted, overlooked, grieving, brilliant, brave, and becoming.
Through mentoring, journaling, coaching, and real-life guidance, MAQ Mentoring helps girls navigate:
-
Emotional intelligence and self-awareness
-
Public speaking and confidence building
-
Self-care and mental wellness
-
Healthy friendships and relationship skills
-
Academic accountability and goal-setting
-
Joyful exploration through STEAM and sports (via MAQ Minis)
This Gala marks the launch of our next chapter—including new programs like At the Table, a mentorship experience for boys and girls, and our expanded school-based partnerships and 2025–2026 mentoring curriculum.

Back to School Bash
Help Us Gear Up for a Greater School Year! 📚
MAQ Mentoring’s Back-to-School Bash is just around the corner—and we need YOUR help to make sure every girl we serve walks into the school year prepared, proud, and seen.
We’re calling on our community—friends, families, businesses, and supporters—to help us collect:
✔️ Backpacks
✔️ Notebooks & Binders
✔️ Pencils, Pens & Highlighters
✔️ Hygiene Kits (travel-size items)
✔️ Water bottles & lunch boxes
✔️ Gift cards for uniforms or shoes
✔️ New or gently used books (3rd–12th grade)
✔️ Volunteer time, setup help, or sponsorships!
💙 This isn’t just about supplies—it’s about confidence, readiness, and hope. For many of our girls, this event is the only back-to-school celebration they’ll experience. Let’s show them what community looks like.
📍 We’ll be hosting two Bash locations:
-
Columbia, SC – July

Raleigh, NC – August
