The Peggy B. Baxter Community Service Scholarship Gala

The Greenville County Section of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) proudly presents the Peggy B. Baxter Community Service Scholarship Gala, taking place on June 7, 2025. This elegant black-tie affair is dedicated to raising funds for scholarships that support the educational goals of students within our community. Guests will enjoy a memorable evening featuring a formal dinner, live entertainment, and uplifting messages from distinguished community leaders. The gala also provides a meaningful opportunity to connect with local professionals and advocates who share a passion for empowering the next generation through education. Proceeds from the event will directly support deserving students in Greenville County. The Greenville County Section of NCNW has been serving the community since its chartering in September 2019.

Our host for the evening is the vibrant and talented Oneshia Edens, affectionately known as "The Lovely Big O."
