My Project

As we prepare to celebrate Black History Month, we are seeking donations to help provide costumes and supplies for our events and performances. The fabric will be used to make headwraps to represent African culture. The art supplies will be used to help make decorations for the event in which a few talented artistic scholars were selected to help in that field.

Your support will allow us to honor the rich history, culture, and achievements of Black individuals through engaging presentations, storytelling, and artistic expression.

Every contribution, big or small, will help us bring this vision to life and create a meaningful experience for all.

Please consider donating to support this important celebration. Thank you for your generosity!
