Recognizing Those Who Are Making a Difference

 

Gamma Xi Boulé of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity recently commemorated our 20th anniversary. Gamma Xi Boulé was chartered in Sarasota in March 1995, and Gamma Xi Boulé Foundation was founded in 2001. Our foundation is a 501 (c) 3 tax exempt organization dedicated to encouraging excellence in education and providing local support to underserved youngsters.  We have awarded over $40,000 in scholarships to 44 African American students, many of whom were first generation college students. 


Proceeds from our 20th anniversary celebration enabled our foundation to continue to provide scholarships to underserved, first generation African American college students and expand our ‘Journey To Success’ mentoring program. Our 20th Anniversary Celebration was held on April 10, 2015 at the beautiful Lakewood Ranch Country Club. Mr. William Church, Executive Editor of the Herald Tribune Media Group and Ms. Carolyn Mason, Sarasota County Commissioner were recognized for their service to the Sarasota community. We also honored the founders of Gamma Xi Boulé.


The principal speaker for the event was Grand Sire Archon Mr. James O. Cole, Esq. Mr. Cole, a Harvard Law School graduate, is a former Senior Executive with Auto Nation, Inc. and The Clorox Company.

We thank all who attended or supported us in making our event a huge success!
