The Sylvia and Herbert Woods Scholarship Foundation’s 18th Anniversary Fundraiser is paying homage to the Harlem Renaissance Centennial by honoring Dapper Dan and Michael Garner.
While awarding nine recipients new scholarships, this year’s reception will feature a tasting prepared by three generations of Woods family chefs, paired with the McBride sisters’ wine collection personally selected by owners Andrea McBride John and Robin McBride.
To date, SHWSF has joyfully awarded $475,000 in college scholarships to students from Harlem and surrounding communities. In addition to financial support, the Woods family, Committee of Angels and the executive director offer emotional and overall mentoring support to the students for the duration of their college life and beyond.
