CAMPUS BUILDING FUND CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Our Alumni Headquarters and H. V. Brown Fellowship Hall are more than a building and a piece of property. They are the physical center of our organization, a gathering place where generations reconnect, memories are made, community partnerships are strengthened, and our shared legacy continues to live.
Yet, as we continue to expand our programs, outreach, and membership, we must also acknowledge our responsibility to maintain and improve the campus that makes so much of this work possible.
Preserving our legacy requires more than celebrating our history. It requires investing in the very foundation that will sustain us for generations to come.
That is why, in celebration of our 72nd Annual Homecoming, I am proud to announce The Legacy Builders Capital Campaign.
Our goal is to raise $61,200 toward much-needed improvements to our campus, including drainage and sodding of our grounds, upgrades to our parking areas, and the eventual construction of a decorative brick and wrought-iron perimeter fence.
We are calling on 216 alumni, graduating classes, organizations, businesses, and friends to join one of three giving circles:
- 72 Legacy Builders — $500 each
- 72 Legacy Partners — $250 each
- 72 Legacy Supporters — $100 each

Keshia Smith Crowned
2026–2027 DGAF National Scholarship Queen
Keshia Smith, representing the Goldsboro High School Class of 1988, was proudly crowned the 2026–2027 Dillard/Goldsboro Alumni & Friends, Inc. National Scholarship Queen.
With the incredible support of family, friends, classmates, alumni, and the community, Keshia raised an outstanding $23,595 for the DGAF National Scholarship Fund. Her campaign was especially meaningful because she was herself a DGAF scholarship recipient in 1988, making this journey a true full-circle moment.
For Keshia, the crown represents much more than winning a contest—it represents service, education, community, and giving the next generation the same opportunity that was once given to her.
She extends heartfelt gratitude to every person who donated, attended a fundraiser, shared a post, volunteered, encouraged her, or simply believed in the mission.
Keshia looks forward to representing DGAF throughout the 2026–2027 year with grace, pride, purpose, and a continued commitment to scholarships and service.
