Fitch Even was proud to be a sponsor of United Negro College Fund’s (UNCF) 80th Annual National “A Mind Is…”® Gala on March 7 at Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. This fundraising and social event focuses on raising awareness of the need and benefits of a college education, the students UNCF serves, and the contributions of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
Fitch Even attorneys in attendance at the event included Sherri Blount and Kerianne Strachan along with Fitch Even alums, Ed Gray and Catherine Toppin, as well as other guests, including Ted Wood from Wood IP LLC.
UNCF serves as the leading advocate for promoting minority education and community engagement in the U.S. Since its founding in 1944, UNCF has raised more than $5 billion to fund college scholarships for over 500,000 students and to support 37 HBCUs.
