Scholarships: The Scholarship Fund needs your continued financial support for providing aid and encouragement to our youth. All family members are encouraged to donate at least $10.00 to support the Belton Family Scholarship fund. Please send your donations and applications for the Belton Family Scholarship to our financial secretary, Shari Belton-Graham, 4228 Long Arrow Dr., Concord, NC 28025.

Souvenirs: Reunion t-shirts will be sold for the 2025 reunion. No merchandise will be sold at the reunion and no purchased merchandise will be mailed. You must be present to receive your souvenir t-shirt and due to time constraints, no orders will be accepted after June 30, 2025 (no exceptions).

Family Tour: As part of the reunion experience, the Belton Family has been invited to participate in a cultural tour titled: In the Footsteps of Maggie Walker. The Elegba Folklore Society creates and guides this cultural history tour as a contextual biography of Jackson Ward luminary, Maggie Lena Walker. Evolutionary from her birthplace in Church Hill to her elevation in Historic Jackson Ward, attendees have the chance to ponder black excellence and community building in early 20th century Richmond in light of its significance today. A visit to Mrs. Walker’s home, now the Maggie L Walker National Historic Site, adds ephemeral value.

Our guide will sweep you up in the story that you can enjoy from the comfort of your motor coach seat, and, later, ensure your care with the National Park Service interpreters at the Site. The total time is about three (3) hours. There’s no charge for the tour and seats can be reserved during registration. Due to limited seating, children ages 0 - three, will not require a ticket, but must be held on an adults lap.

If you have further questions about the reunion, feel free to contact our President, Lawrence (Lonny) T. Belton, Sr., at (704) 596-8486 (h) or (980) 254-6939 (cell).

Yours truly,

Shari Belton-Graham
