UNCF the nation’s largest and most effective minority education organization, delivered an overwhelming surprise to Ashley Booth, a deserving student at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina. As part of the 35th annual UNCF An Evening of Stars fundraising show, UNCF president and CEO Dr. Michael L. Lomax arranged for the first of three ten thousand dollar checks to be awarded the freshman, who plans to become a veterinarian.
During the segment, Booth was surprised with the initial ten thousand dollar check from UNCF followed a generous matching check of ten thousand dollars from the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation. Sony Pictures Television, the parent company of the Queen Latifah Show, closed the deal when another ten thousand dollar award was added, bringing the generous total to thirty thousand dollars.
