Our club aims to unite black alumni in Maricopa County who are interested in providing support for UA fundraising initiatives and outreach programs. We are excited about the opportunity to form relationships with students, parents, community groups and corporations in Maricopa County.  We need support from anyone who wants to contribute financially or their time to help mold the UA Black Alumni-Maricopa County Club. Our objective is to be well-organized, recognized and productive!

Ways to Support:

• Join the UABAMC

Get involved with a stellar organization that not only contributes to making a difference in our members’ lives but in the lives of African American high school seniors - Turning their Dreams into Reality!

Inception: January 2006

In July 2006, David and Elizabeth Harper (front row, center) provided a $10,000 gift to the University of Arizona Black Alumni-Maricopa County to support the club's efforts to promote scholastic excellence and to provide scholarship opportunities for African American students.

Events and when they are held: Our club hosts monthly meetings at the UA Alumni Association Phoenix Office and we arrange a number of social, community service and fundraising events throughout the year. We also support events organized by the five other Valley alumni clubs, the UABA in Tucson and the university itself.
