Trifecta Gala Presented by your host Steve Harvey
Mr. Harvey’s entry into comedy was a leap of faith. He was encouraged to perform at an open mic comedy night in 1985. His performance brought down the house, and the next day he quit his job to pursue his dream.

Our sponsors proudly support this impeccable event that impacts the community and features music legends. The Trifecta includes brand engagement experiences in non-conventional ways.
Take Coca-Cola for instance. You can drink Coke anywhere. But, when you have Coke at The Trifecta, it’s dressed elegantly, in a fun party environment and paired with a drink you’ve possibly never had before — or even cooked in a dish you’ve never tasted before. We’re rethinking how you enjoy Coca-Cola.
