About Us

Our story

 It all began with a love of dance... 

What happens when you combine great music with a desire to remain physically active, and have fun?  You get four women who welcomed every opportunity to get together to line dance whenever possible!   After learning several complicated dances, we decided to share our newfound skills with others by hosting free weekly line dance lessons at a local church in May, 2017. Led by Alice Carney, we were able to create a faithful line dance community, and decided that we needed to showcase all of the great dances that we learned.  Initially, we just wanted to have a party, but as the planning process evolved, so did our vision for having a party with a specific purpose.   We decided that helping graduating seniors realize their dream of attending college was a worthwhile endeavor; and with that Red, Black & Love, Inc.® was officially born.

our purpose

 The importance of education cannot be understated.  However, as the cost of attending college continues to rise, potential students and their families can be faced with unexpected financial challenges.   Red, Black & Love, Inc.® was formed for the purpose of providing monetary assistance to deserving graduating seniors in New Hanover, Brunswick, and surrounding areas as they prepare to attend college.  Through fundraising events, donations, sponsorships, and the annual Red, Black & Love Gala, students are assisted with initial educational expenditures. The Lillie Ann Heggins Scholarship Foundation was the first recipient of funding in 2018.     

                               "Education is for improving the lives of others 

                                 and for leaving your community and world

                                               better than you found it."                      

                                                                                  -- Marian Wright Edelman

Red, Black & Love, Inc.® believes that education, as an essential tool for academic and personal growth, can be used as a vehicle to equip all people with equal opportunities.  We commit to continuing our mission of providing financial assistance to deserving, college-bound, young minds as they in turn help to build a more cohesive, and equal, society. Education Matters.  Respect and Equality Matter.  Black Lives Matter.
