Please Stay Tuned for Updates on Our 20th Anniversary Sphinx Educational Fund, Inc. Scholarship Brunch in 2024!
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.
Stay tuned as we provide more details in 2024 about our highly anticipated 20th Anniversary Brunch!
“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.”
