    The North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus Foundation announces 2014 Education Scholarship Event slated for June 6

    Raleigh, N.C. – The North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus Foundation, Inc. announces June 6 as the date for its 2014 Education Scholarship Event.

    The Education Scholarship Event is an annual one day event designed to 1) raise funds for scholarships for students at-tending the 10 participating Historically Black Colleges and Universities in North Carolina and 2) educate the community on issues and topics that impact the citizens of North Carolina.

    The event, whose theme is “Continuing the Investment in Promising Futures: Scholarship-Education-Success,” will be held at Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center, 4700 Emperor Blvd., Research Triangle Park, Durham, N.C.

    According to Foundation Chair Rep. Alma Adams, representative for North Carolina District 58 and candidate for U. S. Congress, to represent North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District, “The economic challenges facing young people to-day continue to increase. The ability to pay for a college education is an impossible task for many people who desire a college education.” She adds, “It is our duty and responsibility to ensure access to higher education for these young people, who are the workforce of the future.  The funds raised generate the power needed to sustain young futures through education. The situation remains critical. The rising cost of at-tending college and the resulting debt, make financial support through scholarships, even more important.”

    Even in tough economic times, the North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus Foundation has provided support to higher education in North Carolina for more than 28 years by awarding need-based scholarships to students attending one of the 10 participating Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in North Carolina.

    The cornerstone activity of the one-day Education Scholarship Event is The William L. Wainwright Scholarship Banquet on June 6, 2014 starting at 7 p.m. The keynote speaker for this ticketed event is U. S. Congressman G. K. Butterfield, representing North Carolina’s First District. The fee for this scholarship fundraising dinner is included in the full event registration of $75, which also includes the Networking Luncheon, Issues Briefings, Memorial Service honoring de-ceased members of the NCLBC and Scholarship Reception. The fee to attend only The William L. Wainwright Scholarship Banquet is $50 per person.

         The North Carolina Legislative Black Caucus Foundation June 6, 2014 Education Scholarship Event includes: Issues Briefings (Survival of HBCUs, Affordable Care, Learning The New Rules for Voting in NC), a Networking Luncheon, a Memorial Service Honoring Deceased NCLBC Members and The William L. Wainwright Scholarship Banquet with Keynote Speaker U. S. Congressman G. K. Butterfield. Full event information is available at www.NCLBCF.org. For more information contact event Co-Chair Delores Parker at (919) 271-6417 or Co-Chair Lisa Hodges at (919) 441-8061. Scholarship Information: Visit www.nclbcf.org
