The Links' Crystal Celebration: 15 Years of Service

0:00The Tri-County Alabama chapter of the links incorporated is marking 15 years of service with a crystal celebration gala on Saturday, April 11th. This fundraiser highlights their sparkling success and aims to raise $15,000 for community programs across Jefferson, Shelby, and St.son, Claire Counties. The National Organization, founded in 1946, focuses on five key areas like youth services, the arts, health, and global trends. Local chapters like this one drive education, economic growth, and policy work to uplift African-American communities. Chapter President Tanya Perry says, these events fuel their hands on support, especially a new scholarship push to empower future leaders. They're honoring standouts like Huffman High Principal, Dr. John C. Lyons, and Alabama's youngest poet laureate Ashley M. Jones. Chartered on June 12, 2010, this is the 273rd chapter overall, zeroing in on youth empowerment as their core mission.
