“LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE”
The Johnson County NAACP will host its 58th Freedom Fund Banquet after a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Thank You” to those that supported us with donations during that time. The Freedom Fund Banquet has been and is the Johnson County NAACP’s primary fundraiser.
These funds allow us to fulfill the NAACP’s mission to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination. We do that by addressing local issues in our community related to education, voting rights, housing opportunity, access to health care, and criminal justice. We also proactively assess national issues and their potential to affect our communities in the near future.
The Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Kaye Monk-Morgan President and CEO of the Kansas Leadership Center. The theme of this year’s banquet will be “LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE”.
At the event, the branch will recognize and honor outstanding members of the branch and the local communities and award the recipients of its annual student scholarships. The reception/social will start at 5:00 p.m. and program starts at 6:00pm on September 17th at the Embassy Suites by Hilton – Olathe Conference Center, 10401 S. Ridgeview Road. Olathe KS, 66061.
