📣📣ATTENTION ALL WILDCATS AND FRIENDS!!

Our 14th Annual Scholarship Jazz Brunch is on the way.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 15 at 10AM at the Henry County Heritage Park Community Center, McDonough GA with guest speaker Mr. Kenneth Ward, FVSU National Alumni Association Hall of Fame Inductee.

Our Jazz Brunch is our biggest fundraising event that fully supports our students via scholarships and financial assistance to make sure their future is a success.
We’re calling all alumni, friends and supporters to help make this event an amazing experience by purchasing a ticket, sponsoring, purchasing an ad, or donating.

Our goal this year is $35,000.00, and as you can see from our Jazz Brunch Financial Meter we’re at $21, 825.00 so we’re getting closer to reaching that goal thanks in large part to many of you that have contributed.
