About Harambee
Harambee (meaning, "a call to unity and collective work") is the signature event for the San Jose Alumnae Chapter. Harambee in known to be a festive, entertaining, and exciting! Over the years, the chapter has raised well over $200,000 in college scholarship monies for local high school students who demonstrated academic excellence. We are hopeful for the ability to improve the amount we raise; allowing the San Jose Alumnae Chapter the opportunity to expand upon public service initiatives with focus on the Black community.
This year our theme is Resilient - Empowered - Destined. Over the last three years the students of this generation have struggled greatly during the pandemic in many ways, but we know they have shown Resiliency. As a community we want to continue Empower and uplift the youth in ways that motivate them to continue striving towards excellence and realize their Destiny.
We are calling on members both within and outside our community to help us raise funds for the future generation of black excellence! This fundraiser will support our future scholarship award recipients, educational programs and community events.
