Mu Mu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and Bridge Builder Charity Foundation, Inc. set to host 3rd annual event for scholarship and mentoring fundraiser
“Mardi Gras with the QUES” is back, and it is bigger and better than ever!
Join the Brothers of the Mu Mu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and the Bridge Builder Charity Foundation, Inc., as the Humble Civic Center will be transformed and everyone will be magically taken from New Orleans to Houston in one exciting and festive night!
That’s right!
The 3rd Annual “Mardi Gras with the QUES” Scholarship Fundraiser will be held on March 11, 2023, from 7 pm – 1 am, at the Humble Civic Center, located at 8233 Will Clayton Parkway, Humble, TX 77338.
Come party with a purpose, celebrate, and have an extremely good time, as the group is hosting a festive, New Orleans Style party, with the primary purpose of helping raise money towards much-needed scholarships for deserving youth and some impactful mentoring programs.
The Bridge Builder Charity Foundation is based upon the conviction that an education is essential to a healthy thriving community. The Foundation provides a bridge for members of our community who otherwise would not have the financial means to fulfill their educational goals and build a successful future. Last year, the Bridge Builder Charity Foundation provided more than $10,000 in scholarships to deserving young students in pursuance of their college dreams.
Your support of this event could be the bridge that builds a young person’s future.
All the donations and proceeds from this event will go directly towards helping enrich the lives of the young men in our Omega Gentleman Youth Academy and fund the Scholarships Awards Program for post-secondary students.
Attendees will enjoy delicious food, delightful libations, dynamic music, and have a good ole’ Mardi Gras time like no other. This much-anticipated event will be filled with the festive sounds of Derrick D, The Unyt Band, along with a stunning performance by New Orleans’ own, National Recording artist Choppa. The Hustler’s Brass Band will also perform New Orleans 2nd Line featuring special Mardi Gras characters.
You truly don’t want to miss it!
