We began as a social organization to arrange for friends and classmates to gather biennially. We have become a 501 C 3 charitable organization that executes our slogan, Preserve the legacy and prepare the community’s future. The small community on the south side of Gainesville was financially challenged and racially segregated with much pride and ambition for their children . Those humble beginnings produced so many successful people in all professions. Today, FSBHSAA, lnc, offers scholarships and annually invests in an educational endowment that will fund scholarships in perpetuity. We cooperate with other community organizations and our local government to restore the vibrancy and improve the conditions of the community, assist residents and protect the legacy and heritage created by our ancestors. None of the people who serve on the Board of Directors receive financial compensation, only the satisfaction of preserving and preparing the community we love. Because we are a full-time organization, we have fixed and variable costs and the money required to execute the projects we perform. Your financial assistance is needed and appreciated.
