Recently, the Jackson Parish Chapter of the Grambling University National Alumni Association (GUNAA) held its annual Fred D. Hearn Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament. Thanks to the incredible local support, $40,000.00 was presented to the Grambling State University Scholarship Fund.

GUNAA Jackson Parish Chapter President James Bradford showed his appreciation in the following letter to alumni, friends, and supporters. 

Dear Alumni, Friends & Supporters,

The purpose of this letter is to express my sincere gratitude for your dedicated contributions to the Fred D. Hearn Memorial Scholarship Golf Tournament. Your contributions have made a meaningful difference in the lives of students at Grambling State University.

With your support, we’ve given over $100,000 in scholarships. Thank you for continuously going above and beyond to support the golf tournament. Your contributions over the years have shaped the success of the tournament, and they have enabled us to provide help to those in need.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the local businesses for their generous support. I am pleased to note that every business I approached for sponsorship or donation responded positively, with the exception of Sabine Bank.

In closing, it is a pleasure to report that with your help, we were able to present a check to the Grambling State University Scholarship Fund in the amount of $40,000. Let me assure you, we could not have done it without your support.

Again, thank you! I look forward to your continued support.

Sincerely,
James E. Bradford, President
GUNAA/Jackson Parish Chapter
