The Promise Newsletter 2nd Quarter Vol. 2


OralleeBrown

IN 1987, ORAL LEE BROWN ADOPTED A FIRST-GRADE CLASS AND PROMISED THEM IF THEY STAYED IN SCHOOL AND GOT ADMITTED TO COLLEGE, SHE WOULD PAY FOR THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION. NOT ONLY DID SHE KEEP HER PROMISE TO THE FIRST CLASS OF STUDENTS, BUT TO DATE, 176 STUDENTS FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES HAVE RECEIVED MENTORING, TUTORING, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE ORAL LEE BROWN FOUNDATION FOR COLLEGE.

THE ORAL LEE BROWN FOUNDATION

The youth are our Future leaders and we have to be sure they are ready to lead and guide us into the future. All the funds we raise are for the support of the Mentoring, Tutoring, Art, Scholarships, and Saturday programs at the Foundation.
