It's A Celebration: RACA's Scholarship Fundraiser
Greetings RACA Friends! It's summer and with Mother's Day in our rearview, we continue to reflect on the impact of the remarkable women who have shaped our lives, and the enduring love we have for our mothers. Help us celebrate the lives of RACA's namesakes,
Mrs. Ruby Ann Myles and Ms. Carrie Ann Dawson.
In their honor,
for RACA's Scholarship Fund.
As I think about our moms and their dedication to family and community, I also reflect on the fantastic journey of conceiving, standing up, and managing The Darin C. Banks Foundation (DCBF). It has been a sixteen-year labor of love and more gratifying than we could ever hope. DCBF Scholars have matriculated to and graduated from Ivy League, Big Ten, HBCU and other distinguished private colleges and universities. They are emerging leaders working in the business, entertainment, social services, technology and other industries. They volunteer in their hometowns and abroad, enriching their communities as global citizens.
Now that we’ve transitioned to RACA, we are continuing DCBF’s great work. RACA is on the move! We completed our Annual Scholarship Competition, selecting RACA’s first (3) scholarship recipients. We're preparing for the 2026-27 Annual College Scholarship Competition which kicks off Monday November 2nd.
We’ve kicked off Back to School Month and we'll launch our fall newsletter soon.
We can only imagine all the things Ms. Ruby Ann and Ms. Carrie Ann might say. We're grateful to have had them in our lives and to share their legacy through RACA.
We Miss You Mom & Mommy!
Love,
Bryant & Michelle Banks-Myles
