2021 Annual Scholarship & Awards Gala A Success!
Congratulations to Honoree Darrell McNair-2021 BPACF Black Professional of the Year!
Thank you for your support!
In addition to his business successes, Honoree Darrell McNair has more importantly contributed to the work of revitalizing and advancing Greater Cleveland through youth advocacy and inclusive excellence. The sold-out evening’s festivities began with a reception in the Atrium outside of the newly decorated Diamond Ballroom at Driftwood in Mayfield Heights, followed by an exciting program celebrating Mr. McNair and honoring our long-standing tradition and history of supporting African American students and scholarship recipients.
Many thanks to the 2021 Gala Co-Chairpersons, and the Host Committee for all their hard work!
