The San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation, Inc. will be celebrating its 25th Annual Black Rose, Humanitarian of the Year and Community Service Awards Banquet on September 12 at the National Orange Show in San Bernardino. This is a community event where individuals and businesses from within the community are recognized by their peers and the community for giving back beyond what could be expected as well as serving as a fundraising event to help provide scholarships for students who live in San Bernardino and Highland and attend San Bernardino City Schools, Aquinas, and Loma Linda Academy. Applications are now being accepted for potential nominations. If you know someone or a business deserving to be recognized as an unsung hero for volunteer efforts over and above job related activities, please take the time to complete an application which can be downloaded at www.sbbcfoundation.org. Nomination deadline: July 31. Applications can be submitted via e-mail to marrobhill@aol.com, unicorncol@sbcglobal.net or mailed to: The San Bernardino Black Culture Foundation, Inc. at P. O.
