Celebrating 30 Years of Service
The members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Alpha Kappa Omega Chapter established the Alpha Kappa Omega Educational and Charitable Foundation in 1981. Now known as the Ivy Educational and Charitable Foundation of Houston, Inc., it sought to realize a vision of a nancially strong and independent organization that would be the charitable arm of our illustrious chapter, with its purpose of providing scholarships and perpetual service to our community. The foundation continues a tradition of giving to worthwhile causes and organizations such as the NAACP’s ACT‐SO; Dress for Success; Julia C. Hester House; Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation; Blue Triangle Multi‐ Purpose Center; United Negro College Fund; Hazel Hainsworth Young Library at Jack Yates High School and more.
The Annual Report for the scal year 2011 of the IEACF conveys the milestones we have reached during our 30th
Anniversary. We have highlighted our fundraisers and are grateful for the support of our members, committees, sponsors, patrons, volunteers and Board of Directors for a year of exceptional achievements. THANK YOU! Our 30th Anniversary Scholarship Luncheon and Fashion Show, “Empowering, Encouraging and Educating Youth” was viewed by most in attendance as a rst class event. We extend a special appreciation to the chairman and co‐chairman, Tanya Allen Easter and Evelyn E. Thornton respectively for their leadership and all the committee members who worked tirelessly to ensure a successful and entertaining affair. The foundation’s rst time Rock the Boat Scholar “Ship” Fundraiser Cruise sailed from Galveston with 53 members and friends on October 20th through the 24th. Hats off to Cheryl Taylor, Glenniece Stewart and their awesome team for a FUNtastic adventure. We showcased 10 extraordinary children with fashion and air at the 7th Biennial Kids’ Extravaganza, “Remembering Our Sacred Past, Celebrating Our Treasured Future.” Accommodations to a dedicated committee led by Chantay Morris and Yavaunda White. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful program. I am extremely proud to announce the 30 for 30 Campaign that inspired and encouraged our members to make special contributions in recognition of the foundation’s thirtieth anniversary retired our endowment. Because of the hard work of the fundraising committee and its chairmen Staci Taylor Fullmighter and Lucy Bremond, we accomplished our goal of $100,000 set by the foundation, years ago. We give special thanks for the vision of the incorporators of the IEACF, whose hope it was to continue the legacy ofraising funds for scholarships and charitable giving. “The test we must set for ourselves is not to march alone, but to march in such a way that others will wish to join us.” Hubert Humphrey, U.S. Vice President I would again like to thank you for your continued support of the Ivy Educational and Charitable Foundation of Houston, Inc. and as well, joining us in making a meaningful difference that honors our mission and improves the lives of many. Gratefully, Regina Horton Carrington, President Ivy Educational and Charitable Foundation of Houston, Inc. Regina Horton Carrington, President
