Panelists

The Annual Freedom Fund Event is a chance for members to spend an evening celebrating the pursuit of civil rights. Given our current climate and all we’ve endured the past year and to-date, our theme for this year’s event is “RISE UP!” Additionally, fundraised money will contribute to the growth of the organization and provide college scholarships to deserving students. The scholarship money that is given to students helps make going to the school of their dreams a reality. Several awards will also be given to well deserving individuals and an organization within our community. 

Panel Discussion

Meet our amazing panelists from across the community that have “Risen Up” over the past year and taken their social justice efforts to the next level.
