AKARAMA 2026

PASSPORT to POSSIBILITIES 

Three Destinations.                     One Mission.                    Endless Impact

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES… AND THE FINAL STOP AWAITS!

As Global Ambassadors for Change, we embarked on an extraordinary Passport to Possibilities journey with one powerful mission: to uplift the Woodlawn community and help create a brighter future for generations to come. Our passports have already taken us on two unforgettable stops. We experienced the promise and inspiration of the Obama Presidential Center, then traveled to the vibrant sights, sounds, and spirit of Jamaica. But our passports aren’t full just yet. Now, we are headed to the FINAL STOP on our tour—and this destination promises to be unlike anything you ever imagined. Prepare to be transported to an evening filled with elegance, wonder, and possibilities beyond your expectations. This is more than our final destination—it is the grand culmination of a journey rooted in purpose, community, and transformational impact. Together, we are working toward an ambitious goal of investing $200,000 in student scholarships and essential community programs that strengthen and uplift Woodlawn. Two destinations behind us. One extraordinary destination remains. Pack your imagination. Bring your passport. And get ready… Our final destination awaits. Where are we headed next?

Final Destination: October 24, 2026

An Evening In Paris

It is an elegant seasonal finale. Join us in celebrating nearly half a century of community empowerment with a formal seated dinner, accompanied by live classical orchestral strings, and a reflective overview of our scholarship milestones for the current year.
