In addition to listening to speeches and cheering on this year’s contestants and community choir, attendees can participate in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service by donating non-perishable food items, winter coats and children’s books for distribution to Prince William area community service organizations.
Prince William County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. members Sheila Bryant and Sandra Mitchell lead this program for the sorority.
This event is also generously supported by the Cecil and Irene Hylton Foundation, the school districts and education foundations of Prince William County Public Schools, Manassas City Public Schools, Manassas Park City Public Schools, and many churches, community organizations and private donors.
