The program was hosted in partnership with the Phoenix Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, the Phoenix Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated, and the Gamma Mu Boulé of Phoenix of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity, Inc., reflecting a shared commitment to leadership, service, and community impact.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our tri-chairs, mentors, and teens for their leadership and dedication throughout this journey. Over several months, mentors worked closely with our teens—guiding, encouraging, and preparing them to bring this program to life.
The result was a powerful and inspiring experience that not only honored distinguished leaders, but also showcased the strength of mentorship and the importance of investing in the next generation.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating leadership, legacy, and the future of our community.

Founders' Day Celebration
On January 25, our chapter gathered to celebrate Founders’ Day, honoring the vision, leadership, and legacy of our founders. This year’s theme, African Diaspora: It Takes a Village, highlighted the strength of community and the power of sisterhood across generations.
Through fellowship and reflection, we honored our history and the Associate jewels who laid the foundation for the village we continue to build for our families and children. This meaningful celebration reminded us of who we are, whose we are, and the generations we uplift through purpose, love, and tradition.
