SAT
PREPERATORY PROGRAM
For more than 25 years, Hartford Alumnae’s award-winning
SAT Prep Program has equipped students with strategies to improve
their test-taking skills. In 1981, the Hartford Alumnae Chapter
established a SAT review and preparation program at Weaver High
School in Hartford CT. Over 2,000 students have participated in
the review program and have attended HBCU’s and prominent
universities.
DR.
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. SCHOLARSHIP BREAKFAST
Celebrating its 22nd anniversary, the Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. Scholarship Breakfast continues to be Hartford Alumnae’s
signature fundraising program. Proceeds from the breakfast enable
the chapter to award renewable scholarships to talented graduating
high school African American girls. With the help of corporate
and community sponsorship, we have been able to award more than
$100,000.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
PARTNERSHIP
Building Homes, Building Lives is the goal for Habitat
for Humanity. The Hartford Alumnae Chapter partners with the Hartford
Area Habitat for Humanity to help eliminate poverty housing. Hartford
Alumnae actively participates in the ongoing building of affordable
housing. We host an annual Greek Build with other Pan-Hellenic
organizations in June.
JOHN
E. ROGERS GOLF TOURNAMENT
Annually, the chapter hosts a golf tournament in honor of Dr.
John E. Rogers—a renowned local teacher, lecturer, historian
and consultant of Black history and culture. Proceeds from the
tournament support the establishment of the John E. Rogers African
American Cultural Center. The center will be used to house his
valuable collection of historical materials and other contributions
of prominent African Americans.
