SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN

🎉 Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Sankofa Scholarship Collective's 3rd Annual Shades Of Black Ball & Scholarship Fundraiser. It's an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉 Every registration to this event, sponsorship of a student, and contribution to a scholarship will bring us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all. This impactful fundraising gala will take place on Friday, June 19, 2026, at the historic and beautiful Garden Theater in Detroit. Our powerful theme for this year’s event is “The Remix”. This year is about remixing education until it sounds like freedom—sampling what’s edifying, adding bold new rhythms, and creating liberatory possibilities for children that move beyond talk and into action.  Thank you for supporting our mission. Your support is invaluable!

"This event showed me Black excellence to its full extent and I was in complete and utter awe, being Black is more than just a color, our skin color is just a sliver of insight to how talented and amazing we truly are"
