The Buffalo Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) will hosts its 52nd Annual Medgar Evers Awards Dinner on Saturday, June 9th, 2018, at 6:00pm, at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, 153 Franklin Street, Buffalo NY. Tickets are $60 per person or $600 for a table of ten. Persons or organizations purchasing or selling ten tickets will be listed as an honorary chairperson in our program booklet. Sponsorship and ad information is enclosed.
The keynote speaker this year will be Derrick Johnson, NAACP National President & CEO
We will also be presenting the following awards to volunteers in the community who have strived to espouse the spirit of the NAACP in practice and in deeds. The award categories are: Youth Award, Rufus Frasier Human Relations Award, Daniel R. Acker Community Service Award and the Medgar Evers Civil Rights Award.
In this past year, the Branch has been focusing on NAACP national and local platform issues. We have restored hope in the community that the NAACP stands for justice and equal opportunity for all people. The Buffalo Branch has been at the forefront of issues facing our community such as economic development, quality education, criminal justice system, segregation and gentrification, health disparities, and employment opportunities and training to name a few. We have recently partnered with a nationally-known environmental organization to bring more substantial eco and climate justice information to the WNY region. We are also in the process of restoring our Youth Chapter and have signed up dozens of new youth memberships.
We hope you will attend our dinner to celebrate with us and learn more about the workings of the Buffalo Branch. Advance paid reservations are required. There will be no ticket sales at the door.
