Charlotte, NC (March 28, 2011)--The Pride Entrepreneur Education Program (PEEP) will award scholarships for the 2011-2012 academic year in June. African-Americans (up to 25 years old) who wish to pursue education and training that will allow them to master skills and launch successful careers and entrepreneurial endeavors are encouraged to apply. Applicants will be required to complete the scholarship application form, write a personal statement and submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, administrator or member of the community.

DEPR Community | The 2nd Annual Red Pump/Red Tie Affair.

http://www.2010redpumpredtieaffair.eventbrite.com/  The Red Pump Project is an initiative to improve the awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. Yes, HIV/AIDS affects both men and women as well as the young and mature BUT did you know out of the 1.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS that almost 280,00 of those people are women and that the largest number of HIV/AIDS diagnosis for women is aged 15-39. This makes HIV/AIDS the 5th leading death among women between the ages of 25-44. In 2005, African-American and Latina women accounted for 82% of the estimated total of HIV/AIDS diagnosis and represented 24% of of all the US women diagnosed combined. In 2006, teen girls aged 13-19 represented 39% of reported AIDS cases meanwhile 69% were African-American and 19% Latina. On the evening of December 1, 2010, JSW Media Group along with sponsors will present The 2nd Annual Red Pump/Red Tie Affair. A night of art, glamour, music and so much more to reduce discrimination
