Bishop Dunne Presents 2026
Join us as we celebrate 65 years of raising faithful leaders in our community. Hear from keynote speaker Cynt Marshall, the first Black female CEO in NBA history.
Whether you attend, donate auction items, buy raffle tickets, or become a sponsor, your support makes a difference as you help us redefine our students’ tomorrows.
Keynote speaker: Cynt marshall
A trailblazing business leader and woman of faith, Cynt served as the first Black female CEO in NBA history and spent 36 years as an AT&T executive, where she became nationally recognized for transforming workplace culture through people-first leadership.
She is also the author of You've Been Chosen, an inspiring book of faith, purpose, and overcoming stage 3 colon cancer that was nominated for an NAACP Image Award.
We planned to have Cynt’s book distributed at the event, but we’ve changed our minds! Her story is so powerful and engaging, we want to give you the opportunity to read the book before hearing her speak.
So, once you purchase your sponsorship, table, or ticket, we will send you her book!
As Cynt says in her book, “Sometimes He’s here to meet my needs. Sometimes He puts me in a place so that I can meet the needs of someone else.” We are eager to see the great plan God has for us as we come together at Bishop Dunne Presents.
It is going to be an amazing night!
