The Returning to Our Roots Gospel Brunch celebrates churches, pastors, and their congregations that have a tradition of supporting UNCF, its member historically Black colleges and universities, and students.

The UNCF New York Faith & Education Initiative 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 support for UNCF’s mission, expressed through our motto, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in.” ®.

We welcome you to attend and support in fellowship with the community, while enjoying brunch, complimentary mimosas, musical performances and powerful speakers. Funds raised will support UNCF’s member schools and its important work to advance educational and career opportunities for students of color.
