This year’s theme celebrates the interconnected legacy of honoring our elders while empowering rising leaders. As part of our annual fundraiser, we are proud to crown three Queens of the Community, each representing a unique generation: past, present, and future. This tradition highlights the invaluable contributions of each generation and inspires continued community impact.
We draw inspiration from the powerful legacy of honoring elders and nurturing future leaders. Influenced by the traditions observed in Ghana, it pays tribute to the queens who have built our communities while empowering the next generation to continue their impactful work.
