2026 Signature Event Fundraising Brunch
April in Paris
Behind every mask there is a face, and behind every face there is a story…
The Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (FWAC), and The Coalition for Stronger Communities (CSC), Inc., invite you to celebrate 35 years of Scholarship, Service, and Sisterhood to Southern Prince George’s and Charles Counties, Maryland. This year’s theme is “Committed to Service – Rooted in Sisterhood”.
The Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter (FWAC) of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., began with an idea to form a chapter dedicated to the Christian principles upon which the sorority was founded. An announcement in the Ebenezer AME Church bulletin was the next step in bringing this idea to fruition and the response was immediate. The group of Deltas who responded met monthly for eight months, and on April 28, 1990, 24 Charter Members and Reverend Dr. Gwendolyn E. Boyd, then Eastern Regional Director, chartered the Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter. FWAC currently consists of over 470 committed sorors who collectively work together to enhance our service area.
Travel back down memory lane with us as we showcase our rich history using video chats with our Charter Members, displays of chapter accomplishments, and a dynamic message from then Eastern Regional Director Rev. Dr. Gwendolyn E. Boyd.
Guests will enjoy cocktail hour with passed hor d’oeuvres and cash bar, followed by a buffet dinner with an assortment of meal options as they listen to the best of smooth jazz, r&b, and neo-soul sounds from Another Day Band, guaranteed to have the crowd cuttin’ a rug.
Step into the charm of the City of Light at our much anticipated 2026 Signature Event Fundraising Brunch April in Paris. This year, the Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., (FWAC) and The Coalition for Stronger Communities (CSC) invite you to a spectacular celebration held at the extravagant Hotel at UMD, 7777 Baltimore Ave, College Park, MD on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 11:00AM – 4:00PM.
“April in Paris” is more than a signature brunch—it is our annual tradition of uniting our community in support of a vital mission. Guests will enjoy a menu of brunch favorites, live entertainment, Parisian inspired fashion, and meaningful fellowship, all while contributing to our largest fundraising initiative.
As FWAC’s premier fundraising event, the Signature Event provides essential support for our community development and scholarship programs, serving Southern Prince George’s County and Charles County, Maryland. These initiatives span youth engagement, senior programming, social action advocacy, health and wellness awareness, the arts, assistance for families in need, and scholarships for deserving students.
Since our chartering in 1990, FWAC has proudly awarded more than $450,000 in academic scholarships—an enduring investment in education and empowerment that continues to transform lives.

2023 Signature Event - “Créme de la Rouge”
The 2022-2023 Signature Event is Fort Washington Alumnae Chapter’s major fundraiser where proceeds go to support our community development programs and scholarships in Southern Prince George’s County and Charles County. These include a multitude of activities for youth, senior citizens, physical & mental health awareness, social action and scholarship awards. In fact, since its chartering in 1990, DST-FWAC has awarded over $316,000 in academic scholarships. This year’s event will be an afternoon to remember and an opportunity to support the community.
Although the theme remains the same in mirroring the Diner en Blanc experience, we promise an enhanced evening of elegance and glamour. Over the course of the evening, guests will experience the beauty of fellowship and music in a truly magical event. Guests dressed in white with a splash of red will dine at a table for two. Guests are required to provide their own food and table setup. Entertainment for the evening will be from the legendary band Let It Flow, an R&B/Neo-Soul ensemble consisting of some of the Washington Metro area’s finest musicians and vocalists. Let It Flow captivates audiences with a stirring mix of contemporary jazz, neo-soul, R&B, and Hop-Hop sprinkled with a few “old-school” classics. We will also be joined by well known Hype Man KyleOnTheMic, a multi-talented entertainment host and media personality from Maryland, who will capture your experience with his spunky personality, energy and ability to adapt to all crowds.
Guests are permitted to bring tents with the following guidelines:
- Tent Size: 10 feet x 10 feet
