Father’s Day
Scholarship Brunch
The Father’s Day Scholarship Brunch is the signature annual fundraising event of the Morehouse Triangle Alumni Association. Each June, we gather to celebrate the legacy of fatherhood while raising funds to support deserving students pursuing higher education, particularly at HBCUs. Through fellowship, leadership, and community investment, we honor fathers and fund futures.

What began as a vision to honor fathers has become a growing platform for generational impact.
The Father’s Day Scholarship Brunch is a signature initiative of the Morehouse Triangle Alumni Association, created to celebrate fatherhood, invest in education, and strengthen families across the Triangle region.
This event is rooted in legacy but driven by results.
