Forging Ahead and Striving for Excellence

2012 ANNUAL REPORT

President Message:

The New Chesapeake Men for Progress Education Foundation, Inc. (NCMPEF)

experienced a banner year in 2012. The Foundation’s Scholarship Committee awarded $11,000

in scholarships and textbook stipends. This was $1000 more than awarded in 2011. The

Foundation established a partnership with the Chesapeake Housing and Redevelopment

Authority (CHRA) and awarded a young man from public house a $1000 scholarship. The

student, Jalen D. Parham, attends Norfolk State University and successfully passed all of his

classes the first year of the 2012-13 academic year. He is a promising student and the

Foundation intends on continuing its partnership with the CHRA to assist other public housing

deserving college bound males.

The NCMPEF was established January 21, 2010. Since its inception, the Foundation

took over the scholarship responsibility from the New Chesapeake Men for Progress. From

2009, 34 African American males have received $1000 scholarships and 24 have received book

stipend. All of the recipients were certified to receive their awards and are attending colleges

and universities throughout the United States, primarily Virginia.

The 2012 NCMPEF Scholarship Award Breakfast was attended by 500 youth, adults,

sponsors, governmental and school officials, corporate leaders and, faith and civic leaders. The

Honorable Bismarck Myrick, US Ambassador, Ret., delivered an inspiring address in which he

challenged the 22 students to aspire to be what they are capable of and not let others define what

they can be.

State Farm was a Gold sponsor for the second year and increased its support by $2000 to

$7000. In addition, Towne Bank became a Gold Sponsor contributing $5000. This is a

sponsorship we can build on. Also, the Foundation continued to receive $1000 corporate table

sponsorships from Tidewater Community College, Old Dominion University, Regent University,

Ballard Construction Company and the Honorable Phillip and Dr. Jean Infantino. The

Chesapeake Conference Center, Tim Fields, General Manager, made a significant contribution

to the breakfast. Thirty one (31) Foundation members sponsored tables along with the CHRA,

Norfolk State University and Chesapeake Regional Health Care. Several churches continued to

support the breakfast: First Church of Christ (USA) Holiness, First Baptist Church Berkeley, First

Church of Christ and Trinity Diamond Church. This is an area that we will concentrate more

on for support. The press coverage given to the event by the New Journal and Guide, Brenda

Andrew, Publisher/Editor, and the Hampton Roads Messenger, Angela Jones, Publisher/Editor,

has been valuable in getting our story out to the larger public. We are indeed grateful to each of

them.

Needless to say, all of our sponsors helped to make the 2012 Breakfast an overwhelming

financial success and 22 men were the beneficiaries. The Foundation’s sincere gratitude to

individual ticket buyers, corporate sponsors, donors, community leaders, ad purchasers and

members is hereby extended our sincere appreciation for their financial support, assistance, and

steadfastness in believing in the work of the Foundation. Together, we can continue to make a

difference in the quality of life for the youth of Chesapeake.

As stated in our Motto “Forging ahead and striving for excellence,” we must build on our

legacy in 2013. The Foundation is gaining area wide respect and much is expected of us to do

more. We must expand and support our outreach initiatives—the Boys and Girls Clubs, Back to

School Supplies and especially the Carver Intermediate School lunch Buddy Mentoring

program. Our children cannot become what they need to be by remaining what they are: “Even

Eagles need a push to soar.”

Last year I urged you to partner with local organizations to provide cultural enrichment

opportunities for middle school youth in Chesapeake. In 2012, the Foundation was approached

by Delta Sigma Theta Sorority to assist in its youth esteem building seminar. The relationship

proved to be fruitful and productive for both organizations, especially the youth in attendance.

We must strengthen our relationship with the New Chesapeake Men for Progress, our Parent

organization. We need their support and they need ours.

The Foundation topped the year off on December 14, 2012 with it First Annual Sponsor’s

Appreciation and Student Merit Awards Banquet. The event was a success with 4 sponsors

purchasing tables

In 2013, the Foundation Board of Directors and Scholarship Committee will continue to

build on its partnership with the CHRA. I recommend that the Board establish a protocol

whereby the Foundation can provide tutorial and tuition assistance to qualified college eligible

public housing students. We realize that many of these students have a greater need for

financial assistance and are deserving of being considered for financial aid.

Awarding of more scholarships is contingent on demonstrating to our current sponsors

and potential sponsors that we are good stewards of their funds. However, we cannot depend

entirely on external funding. You and I must work harder to generate funding through

soliciting of ads, sponsorships from the businesses we support, and grants and personal giving.

In addition to the $60 annual assessment , I hereby urge each member to make a yearly

contribution.

In order to continue the Foundation’s growth and services to the youth of Chesapeake,

I submit the following strategic goals for 2013:

*Increase the Foundation’s financial assets by $20,000

*Award $15,000 in scholarships and tuition assistance

*Increase the Foundation’s membership by 30% and extend Associate memberships to

individuals

Who share the mission of the Foundation

* Expand the support to mentoring initiatives

*Increase financial support for the Foundation’s initiatives

My personal thanks to the Board of Directors, Committee Chairmen, and members at-

large for your support and continued commitment to the mission, goals and values of the

Foundation.

God Bless
