Our History

In partnership with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Epsilon Epsilon Omega Chapter, the Winding Ivy Foundation sponsors events to raise money for scholarships.  Pink Up the Pace 5K and Pink Panache Scholarship Benefit Gala are two of the premier events that we co-sponsor.  Our primary mission for the Winding Ivy Community Development Foundation is to raise money to provide scholarships to area high school female graduates. Profits from the Pink Up the Pace 5K and Pink Panache Scholarship Benefit Gala also fund the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) Project. 

​

The Winding Ivy Community Development Foundation, Inc. is also committed to supporting other philanthropic ventures that improve our local and global communities.
