Inland Empire Diamond Foundation to Host 50th Annual Black & White Scholarship Ball
ONTARIO, CA---- The Inland Empire Dia- mond Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the Riverside Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., proudly announces its 50th Annual Black & White Scholarship Ball, tak- ing place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Ontar- io Airport, located at 222 N. Vineyard Avenue, Ontario, CA 91764.
This milestone event marks five decades of service, scholarship, and community im- pact. The Black & White Scholarship Ball is a signature formal affair that brings together community leaders, educators, professionals, alumni, and supporters from across the Inland Empire for an elegant evening dedicated to advancing educational opportunity and youth development.
Tickets for the event are $150 per person, with tables available for $1,500, seating ten guests. In addition to attending the event, pa- trons and businesses have the opportunity to advertise their businesses or promote upcom- ing events through placement in the event's souvenir ad book, which is distributed to at- tendees and prominently displayed throughout the evening.
Proceeds from the Black & White Scholarship Ball support scholarships, mentoring services, and educational field trips for students partici- pating in Kappa League, Kappa Alpha Psi Fra- ternity, Inc.'s nationally recognized mentoring program for middle and high school young men. These funds help provide leadership de- velopment, college and career exposure, and transformative learning experiences beyond the classroom.
As the Foundation commemorates its 50th anniversary, this year's event stands as a pow- erful reflection of its enduring commitment to building pathways for student success through mentorship, education, and community en- gagement.
