CCBE is committed to motivating young Black men and women. In 1974 a Fellowship Fund was established with the help of many concerned individuals and corporations. Since 1975, CCBE has supported graduate students attending the Graduate School of Business at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Georgia, and Columbia University, New York City. One of the most successful fund-raising projects for the Fellowship Fund is "A Night in Monte Carlo". For Monte Carlo night, the Statler Hilton Hotel is transformed into an elegant casino. The Night is filled with dancing, dining, and gaming for charity. In addition to the pre-Monte Carlo promotional cocktail evening, corporations contribute not only to the prize table but to the Fund as well.
