By Staff Report, posted 1 month ago

The Stacy Jones Foundation is proud to announce its Annual Scholarship Ball, a night dedicated to celebrating the accomplishments and dreams of young women in our community. The event will take place on Nov.  16, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. at the

Heart to Heart Counseling Office located at 5845 Yadkin Road in Fayetteville. This year’s theme, Arabian Nights, invites guests to dress in their finest Arabian-inspired attire and enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with elegance, joy, and inspiration.

Since its inception in 2018, the Stacy Jones Foundation has awarded nearly $100,000 in scholarships to deserving female high school and college students, supporting their educational journeys. The Annual Scholarship Ball is the Foundation’s way of recognizing and honoring these outstanding young women and their families, while also shining a spotlight on the lasting legacy of Mrs. Stacy Jones and Imani Hasan, after whom the scholarships are named.

In addition to the monetary scholarships, the Foundation partners with An Affair to Remember, Fayetteville’s premier formal wear store, to provide each recipient with a gown of her choice to wear to the event. This gesture is part of the Foundation's commitment to making this night truly special for every recipient.

“The Annual Scholarship Ball is more than just a celebration; it’s a night to honor the hard work, dedication, and future potential of the amazing young women who will shape our communities,” said Shenae Whitehead, Founder of the Stacy Jones Foundation in a press release. “We are thrilled to come together with our supporters to uplift these students and help them pursue their dreams.”

The event is by invitation only, but those interested in attending and celebrating this inspiring occasion are encouraged to contact Shenae Whitehead or send a direct message to secure a spot on the guest list.
