The Grand Finale Returns — Emerging 100 North Metro Unites Atlanta’s Best and Brightest to Elevate Giving Tuesday with Masque100
A Night of Luxury and Legacy — Celebrating Atlanta’s Finest and Preparing the Next Generation for More
ATLANTA, GA — December 2025 — This December, the Emerging 100 of North Metro Atlanta once again gathers Atlanta’s best and brightest for an evening where luxury meets legacy at their Annual Masque100: Education Benefit.
This “grand finale” black-tie masquerade is the crown jewel of the organization’s Education Pillar, uniting community leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to raise funds for youth development programs across the Atlanta Perimeter. Each ticket sold and every donation collected directly fuel scholarships, mentoring, and innovation through initiatives like Tech Me Outside, an annual event during Atlanta Tech Week, where students learn Digital Literacy and the Monetization of Artificial Intelligence (AI). “Masque100 is where luxury meets legacy,” said Benjamin K. Tomlinson, President of the Emerging 100 of North Metro Atlanta. “We celebrate in style, but we give with purpose. Every contribution helps prepare the next generation.”
This year’s celebration also emphasizes the organization’s Economic Empowerment pillar, showcasing and uplifting Black-Owned brands whose work strengthens Atlanta’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The Emerging 100 North Metro is proud to feature Ovation for Men as a signature vendor partner, presenting the exclusive “Behind the Masque Experience” — an immersive fragrance encounter that blends craftsmanship, culture, and community impact.
“Fragrance has the power to define a moment — and so does mentorship,” said Shawn Crenshaw, CEO of Ovation for Men. “Every man deserves an ovation — a scent that captures his purpose, legacy, and strength. Partnering with Emerging 100 North Metro for Masque100 allows us to honor that legacy in the next generation. Luxury meets impact when we invest in the future.”
