Spearman Foundation Scholarship Gala

ALBANY, Ga. – The Marilyn Spearman Foundation hosted its fourth annual scholarship gala over the weekend.

Residents of Albany gathered at the civic center, dressed to the nines, to support the foundation and its scholarship recipients.

The gala aimed to create scholarship opportunities and funds for training, workshops, and educational events for students pursuing degrees in social work.

In addition to fine dining and live entertainment by the Essence Band, the gala featured an auction to further support the scholarships awarded to recipients.

Among the honorees were Javana Swint, representing Albany State University, and Jada Rainey from Florida A&M University.
