This year we are honoring the first woman president of New York Theological Seminary, The Reverend Dr. LaKeesha Walrond, a Spelman graduate and Executive Pastor of First Corinthian Baptist Church, which is a longstanding supporter of UNCF and HBCU colleges.

The UNCF Faith Initiatives Committee invites you to feed your body and soul as we join in fellowship to recognize faith leaders and community advocates who have shown their belief in and support for UNCF’s mission, expressed through our motto, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in.”®

This event will bring together business, faith-based, government, civic and education leaders from the DMV area, all in support of UNCF’s mission: To build a robust and nationally recognized pipeline of underrepresented students, who, because of UNCF support, become highly qualified college graduates and to ensure that our network of member institutions is a respected model of best practices in moving students to and through college.
