Join Us for the 2025 NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet

The NAACP proudly invites you to the 2025 Freedom Fund Banquet—an evening of fellowship, recognition, and celebration of those who continue to advance democracy, culture, and civic engagement in our community.

For more than 116 years, the NAACP has stood as the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, championing the mission of equality, freedom, and justice for all. This special evening will honor individual donors, activists, businesses, churches, and organizations whose support has been vital in carrying this mission forward.

We are honored to feature Senator Dr. George E. Young, Sr., as our special guest speaker this year. Dr. Young served as the Oklahoma State Senator for District 48 from 2018 – 2024. A respected pastor, author, and community leader, Dr. Young brings decades of experience in leadership and advocacy.
