Ms. Morgan,
Thank you for profiling our foundation and the scholarships
we offer to young men in this community who are working so hard academically to uplift themselves. Over the years we have granted well over $250,000 in scholarship assistance to deserving students to attend historically black colleges and universities.
For 2009 we have renamed our annual event the William A. McGill Scholarship and Awards Luncheon in honor of the many contributions he made to those seeking a higher eduaction. It will be held Saturday, June 13, 2009 at the St. John Banquet and Conference Center in Southfield, MI.
Ticket donations are $65 per person and are tax deductible to the exent by law.
Call 313-875-2010 to request tickets.
Mr. McGill was a 1947 graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta and raised over $22 million dollars for the UNCF during his lifetime.
Sincerely,
Medgar L. Clark
