The Pharaoh’s Ball is the chapter’s biggest Philanthropic event and the chapter partners with Second Harvest Food Bank to help raise money to purchase donations for families in the area during the holiday season. All of the ball proceeds go directly to the organization. Last year, the chapter was able to donate 3500 lbs of food to families in need in the area.  The goal is to either match or surpass that total this year. 

Tickets for the event will be $7 for Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. The following EventBrite link is for ticket purchases: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pharaohs-ball-tickets-39859353399.

Allen Clay Jr. ([email protected]).

NC Alpha Cookout 2017

Many of us remember the annual thrill of the first day of school, with the excitement of seeing familiar friends and the anticipation of learning new things. But for many students, that excitement can quickly fade if they don’t have the necessary supplies to support their academic work. To address this need in our community, the Association of North Carolina Alphamen (ANCA) held its inaugural NC Alpha Cookout – School Supply Drive in Durham, NC. Last year we were able to provide 100 students at Sherwood Githens Middle School with various school supplies, including pencils, book bags, paper, notebooks, calculators and much more.

Schools that will be sponsored this year are as follows:

  1. Carnage Middle School
    Pamela Johnson: [email protected]
  2. Ligon Middle School
    Brandon Mcrae: [email protected]
    Delon B. Fletcher: 919-757- 7325; [email protected]
  3. Washington Elementary School
    Bob Grant: 919-219- 8158; [email protected]

Monetary donations can be made via paypal here.

Support Brother LeVon Barnes in his campaign for Durham City Council

Brother LeVon Barnes is running for Durham City Council Ward 2.  Let’s help support him to help this campaign grow.

A few facts and reasons on why you should support Brother Barnes:

  • As a teacher, he has the opportunity to impact the youth in Durham, teaching the importance of giving back and helping them see skills in themselves that they might not normally see.
  • In 2005 he founded Young Male Achievers, not just a club, but “a movement”, he explains. It’s about “civic duty and the responsibly to help people; speaking up for those who cannot speak up for themselves.”
  • He believes that City Council can have an immediate impact on youth if young people are just brought to the table. LeVon is determined to bring positive change to everyone in Durham and believes serving as a Councilman for Ward 2 is the next step.

For more information visit the following website or contact the committee directly.

In addition to education, the policy office, directed by Jenni Owen, includes experts on health, energy and other policy issues.
