Tickets, Sponsorship Opportunities Available Now for Our 20th Anniversary Sphinx Educational Fund, Inc. Scholarship Brunch!
Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was a shining example of the commitment to leadership, excellence and compassion for which both Funds stand. Accordingly, the Sphinx Educational Fund, Inc. is proud to present this event in conjunction with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund.
For the past 20 years, this has been a signature fundraising event within the Greater Phoenix community with an audience that includes members of the business community, clergy, political and community leaders, as well as, students and scholars.
This year’s Award of Merit recipient is Dr. Camilla Westenberg, Professor Emeritus of Phoenix College.
This year’s keynote speaker is Michael T. Bivens, the first African American Mayor of Whitehall, Ohio.
“None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody – a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns – bent down and helped us pick up our boots.”
