The Alpha Greenville Foundation Announces Inaugural Alpha GENTS Gala

Celebrating the Next Generation of Leaders on April 18, 2026

Greenville, SC — The Alpha Greenville Foundation and the Gamma Gamma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. are proud to announce the Inaugural Alpha GENTS Black-Tie Gala, to be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Greenville Golf Resort at Verdae.

The evening will celebrate the Alpha GENTS Class of 2026, the first cohort of young men to complete the chapter’s year-long rites of passage program. Designed to empower high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the Upstate of South Carolina, the Alpha GENTS Program provides leadership development, mentorship, academic support, and cultural enrichment, preparing participants to lead in college, careers, and community life.

The Gala will feature dinner, student presentations, scholarship recognitions, and a showcase of the GENTS’ achievements. The event will be emceed by Jamarcus Gaston, host of WSPA’s “Your Carolina.”

“The Alpha GENTS Program is about more than preparing young men for the future—it’s about equipping them to shape it,” said Furman Jackson, President of the Gamma Gamma Lambda Chapter. “This Gala is a community celebration of their hard work, growth, and commitment to excellence.”
