Big Weekend Planned As Gamma Pi Chapter Celebrates Omega Psi Phi Achievement Week: Durant Family Foundation Among Honorees

It's been a good year for Gamma Pi Chapter. The Super Chapter was recognized by the Second District as the Large Graduate Chapter of the Year for its tireless work serving the Greater Prince George's Community. Now the chapter wants to turn the tables. This weekend, Gamma Pi will honor those citizens in the local community, as well as members of the fraternity, who have provided exceptional service and support to local citizens. This will happen at the annual Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Achievement Week program this Saturday, November 14, from 1-3 p.m. at the Suitland Community Center.

Among the honorees is Wanda Durant, the mother of native NBA superstar Kevin Durant. Ms. Durant will receive the highest honor for community service, Citizen of the Year, in recognition of her work heading the locally based Durant Family Charitable Foundation for its groundbreaking work with youth across the globe. Ms. Durant will receive the award in person at the program. 

Fraternity honorees will include the Rev. Dr, Grainger Browning, Senior Pastor of Ebenezer AME Church in Fort Washington, MD, who will be honored as the Religious Leader of the Year.

The Achievement Week program is FREE and open to the public. Prince George's County Councilwoman Danielle Hunter will serve as the keynote speaker.

A week later, on Saturday, November 21, Gamma Pi Chapter and the Friendship Charities Foundation, Inc., will partner with the Durant Foundation for the foundation’s annual Thanksgiving Meal Give-Away at the Mount Calvary Catholic Church in Forestville, from 9 a.m.-12 noon. 

Take note of these events and join us in celebrating this occasion where we pay homage to those who make the community better!
