The brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. put their money where their mouth is when it comes to supporting HBCUs today when they donated $25,000 to the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
Dr. Everette B. Ward the 35th General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. presented the check to Thurgood Marshall College Fund President Harry Williams on Wednesday.
“We want to present to you what we believe is the first installment of payments that we will be presenting to the Thurgood Marshall Fund,” Dr. Ward stated while presenting the check.
The Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF) is a non-profit organization named after Alpha Phi Alpha’s very own Thurgood Marshall that supports and represents nearly 300,000 students attending its 47 member-schools which are public historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
“I am pleased to announce that today the president and I will begin a initial conversation to establish a memorandum of understanding between Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and the Thurgood Marshall Fund because we see this as a long-term commitment for years to come,” Dr. Ward stated.
