ANNUAL DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. PARADE
The Fayette County Branch NAACP is proud to announce its Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade and Celebration Rally in Fayetteville, Georgia. This historic celebration honoring Dr. King, presented by the Fayette County NAACP branch for the 23rd time, will take place on Monday, January 20, 2025. This milestone accounts for years when the program was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The morning will begin at 8:45 AM with a pre-parade breakfast provided by McDonald’s at the Parade Assembly area for a nominal cost. The parade line-up will follow promptly at 9:30 AM.
This year’s parade theme is: “Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy” We celebrate Dr. King’s enduring legacy while emphasizing the NAACP’s continued impact on fostering positive change through advocacy for inclusion, diversity, and the fight against racial injustices. Join us as we come together in unity and purpose to honor the life and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We look forward to seeing you there!
2024 Freedom Fund Banquet
On Saturday, November 2, 2024, the Fayette County, Georgia Branch NAACP resumed our Annual Freedom Fund Banquet at the Hilton Peachtree City Atlanta Hotel and Conference Center, 2443 Highway 54 West, Peachtree City, Georgia. The theme for this occasion was "Advocating for Civic Engagement: Preparing for an Uncertain Future.” Your generous support helped fund youth activities, community activities, and the annual MLK observance ceremony. Sponsors, advertisers and supporters of this fundraiser are very instrumental with helping to reach the organization’s annual financial goals. This year we were counting on sponsors and advertisers to help us raise $10,000. Although contributions to our NAACP Unit are not tax deductible for charitable federal income tax purposes, your generous support is appreciated and helps to serve all the citizens of Fayette County.
Our organization is an all-volunteer civil rights advocacy organization working tirelessly to proactively find solutions to social and legal matters that affect people’s livelihood. Our signature events include the MLK Parade & Program, Youth Economic & Educational workshops and forums such as voter education, health and civil justice. We have multiple committees that regularly coordinate with local businesses, organizations, and government officials at various levels in order to promote fairness, equity, equal opportunity and diversity in Fayette County government and area businesses.
Your favorable reply will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
