KAPPA ALPHA PSI® FOUNDATION
"HAVING RAISED OVER $500,000 IN A SINGLE NIGHT, DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN $115,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS IN 2024, AND SUSTAINED $5.8 MILLION IN MANAGED ASSETS, THE FOUNDATION STANDS STRONGER THAN EVER.
“None of this is possible without our supporters,” noted Dubose. “Their belief in our mission is what allows us to provide mentorship, scholarships, and transformational opportunities to young men who need them most.”
LEADERSHIP AND THE ROAD AHEAD
The Celebration of Achievement marked more than an elegant eve- ning—it symbolized the arrival of a fully revitalized foundation. Having raised over $500,000 in a single night, distributed more than $115,000 in scholarships in 2024, and sustained $5.8 million in managed assets, the Foundation stands stron- ger than ever. As the curtain closed on the evening, President Dubose offered a final reflection:“This gala was the culmination of years of work and faith. It proved that when Kappa men unite in purpose and principle, there is no limit to what we can achieve. The Celebration of Achievement is not just a moment—it’s the movement that will carry our Foundation forward for generations to come.” The celebration didn’t just mark an end, it lit the path forward. For those who’ve watched the Foundation’s evolution, the energy in that ballroom felt like a promise kept and a new chapter opened. The numbers tell one story, but the momentum tells another: we’re just getting started. With vision, accountability, and a deep belief in impact over impression, the Kappa Alpha Psi Foundation is shaping a legacy built to last, and built for what’s next. ♦
