Kappa Scholarship Endowment Fund event!

About a week ago I had the most AH-mazing appearance! I attended a Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity fundraiser for a scholarship program that provides monetary support to college students. The cause itself was noteworthy, but there was a delightful twist to this one of a kind event. It was also a Soul Food Feast/Silent Auction/Live Auction all rolled into one. So much to do, so little time! Auction items ranged from jewelry to fine art to vacation packages. But of course the main draw was the down home style feast which included fried chicken, baked fish, candied yams, collard greens, beans and rice and baked mac & cheese. YUM! I'm sure both my blood pressure and cholesterol spiked that evening...but hey it was all for a good cause so its OK...right?

Though I believe the scholarship recipients and event organizers were the real stars of the night, there were actual celebs in the building including DC Mayor Vincent Gray, ABC News Anchor Cynee Simpson and Academic/Author Michael Eric Dyson.

I left he event early due to the impending arrival of Sandy, therefore I missed what was potentially the most exciting part of the evening...the live auction. No worries though, I absolutely plan to be in attendance next year!
