20th Anniversary Celebrations - County-by-County
On May 1, 2024, the Black Belt Community Foundation (BBCF) celebrated the beginning of our 20th year of service to the community. In order to continue the celebration throughout each county over the course of the next year, we have tasked each of our 12 counties with holding a 20th Anniversary Celebration. The primary objective of these events is to commemorate the significant impact of BBCF’s initiatives in the Alabama Black Belt region over the past two decades. See below for the date and description of each County’s 20th Anniversary Celebration event. For more information about the County-by-County celebrations please contact Community Engagement Directors Samantha Ledbetter at sledbetter@blackbeltfound.org or Wendell Paris, Jr. at wparis@blackbeltfound.org.
