Happy Friday Langston Community,

Congratulations to the five Stellar Honorees and 17 Scholarship recipients, recognized at the momentous and grand 48th Installation and Awards Gala February 21, 2025, at the Beverly Hilton. Over $112,500 was awarded in Scholarships and funds were raised for our Wildfire relief efforts. None of this would be possible without your support and Sowing Seeds into this organization. Congratulations and thank you to Sponsors, Donors, and each of you for joining us and attending, making it the largest Langston Gala. 

The opportunity to Sow Seeds remains and will continue throughout the year and beyond. All membership fees paid this year will be contributed to the Scholarship fund in their entirety. We invite you to renew your memberships, become a member and invite others to become members. You will personally sow into the Scholarship fund and reap the great benefits and reward of being a member of an organization committed to the education and enrichment of the community. You may become a member or renew by clicking here.

Please continue to visit our website for announcements, upcoming programs, recaps of past programs and events, job and internship opportunities, media and news releases, etc.

Have a nice peaceful weekend!
