Description

On October 12, 2024 we will be holding our 2nd Annual Dr. Julius B. Flynn Jr. Memorial Scholarship Brunch. The Dr. Julius B. Flynn Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund was established to honor the legacy of Dr. Flynn, a dedicated life-long educator, coach, mentor, and community leader. Annually, the fund awards scholarships to deserving students at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, the nations' oldest historically black institute of higher education, where Dr. Flynn served for forty-two years in various capacities. The fund also acknowledges and rewards a Community Hero that reflects the same giving spirt that Dr. Flynn displayed. 

Our organization is entirely based on volunteer efforts and 100% of donations, outside of holding events, is earmarked for our students and community hero. Last year, thanks to generous donations we successfully raised over $13,000. This allowed us to grant two $1,500 scholarships and make significant contributions towards funding an endowment. We also awarded our first community award to a local hero. This year, our ambitious goal is to raise $25,000, enabling us to increase our scholarship award from $1,500 - $3,000 per award.
