The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. – MECCA Chapter (NCBW-MECCA) hosted its 13th annual scholarship fundraiser on Saturday, March 5, 2016, at Atlanta City Hall Atrium. The scholarship event raised money for young ladies and also recognized the accomplishments of African-American women in education, arts and cultural affairs, corporate and community service. The Honorary Co-Chairs are Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell and his wife, Dr. Tiffany Mitchell. The Mistresses of Ceremonies are Honorable Judge Penny Brown Reynolds and Judge Glenda Hatchett.
The SistahChick & Co was honored to be a media sponsor for this fundraiser. Everyone looked so beautiful. The young ladies were so excited and rightfully so! Seven ($5,000) Scholarships went to High School Graduates of Little Ladies of MECCA program!
The Little Ladies of MECCA is the organization’s premiere education and mentoring program designed to empower and educate girls while developing them into future leaders of tomorrow.
This year’s entertainment included a fashion show and African dancing. Models wore collections from local designers.
It’s an amazing thing to witness young ladies who are fired up about their futures. When they can receive honors and awards from like minded mentors who are also city leaders it encourages them to keep striving towards excellence. There is NOTHING that our young ladies cannot do especially if the have the support and encouragement that they need. Kudos to The National Coalition of 100 Black Women for making this amazing fundraiser possible and congratulations to all of the honorees.
