Mission

Our mission is to empower, educate, and inspire dedicated African American male scholars, enabling them to pursue higher education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Additionally, we aim to establish a strong economic footing within our community, bridging the gap between financial accessibility and future opportunities.

Story

Rooting from a strong friendship among classmates at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), a group of young men formed a close bond of brotherhood. In the Fall of 2009 (Randy Dwight Walker II), the group lost a member of that brotherhood, followed by another in the Spring of 2011 (Alexandre Kevin Williams), and another in the Spring of 2018 (Evan Christopher Wilson).

Although the SVGS Foundation was established in 2018, the group has documented fundraising efforts dating back to 2015. Their primary mission over the past several years has been to cultivate and empower those in their community by providing monetary donations to partnered organizations like the Toys for Tots Foundation, and the HBCU Foundation through community fundraising activities. The purpose of this organization is to continue the philanthropic legacy of these bright young individuals by providing scholarships and quality community fundraising activities that brightens the future of generations beyond them.
