The 2025 Red Diamond Gala View QR

Gala History:

Richland County Alumnae Chapter (RCA), Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated in partnership with the Fortitude Foundation, whose mission is to transform lives and impact communities, hosts an annual fundraiser known as the Red Diamond Scholarship Gala traditionally during the first week in June. We strive to make a great impact in the community.  This year our annual signature event will be held Saturday, June 7, 2025 at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center.  The inaugural scholarship gala, known as RCA Holiday Gala, was held in December 1995. Following the success of the first gala, RCA set out on a purpose to grow our community outreach and impact. Today, the Red Diamond Scholarship Gala is the chapter’s signature fundraising event. With the support of the Fortitude Foundation, our community partners, friends and family, RCA has awarded nearly $400,000 to deserving high school seniors and college students. Your support helps elevate their academic journey and provide life changing experiences.

Gala Purpose:

What started as a Holiday Gala in December of 1995 has morphed into a much anticipated annual gala driven by purpose. Members of Richland County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. are driven by our mission to provide continuous and effective programs, projects and public service initiatives in Richland, Lexington, Newberry, and Fairfield counties. 

As a Chapter with over 350 members, our goal remains the same. We would be honored to have your support for this year’s Gala by becoming a sponsor, providing a generous donation or purchasing tickets. For more information please visit www.fortitudefoundationinc.com or www.richlandcountydeltas.org.
