2020 Sankofa Awards & Fashion Show " Empowerment of Women"

Join us for an afternoon of Food, Fun, Fashion and A salute to Women Leaders !

Sankofa is a word in the Akan language of Ghana that translates as "reach back and get it".  It is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," which translates as: "It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten."

In this spirit, National Pan-Hellenic Council of Chicago (NPHCC) feels that it is important to reach back and help the youth of today to become the successful leaders of tomorrow.  During our Sankofa celebration, we will award scholarships to promising college students as a sign of encouragement for progression and hard work.

Collectively, NPHCC performs numerous hours of service work to uplift our communities.  Those who have excelled at “answering the call to serve” will also be honored at the luncheon as our way to say “thank you.”

Lastly, as a treat, we will showcase our creativity in clothing and design during a fashion show.  Join us for a fun-filled afternoon chocked full of laughter, connectedness and gratitude.  Your support is appreciated!  

Please plan to arrive by 11:00am to check in for seating assignments prior to the event.
