The VaBHMA 2026 Commemorative (100th Anniversary) Black History Lapel Pin and Commemorative Medallion

In honor of the 100th Anniversary of Black History Celebrations, the VaBHMA has commissioned a limited-edition lapel pin and a commemorative medallion.

The lapel pins are 1 inch in diameter and depict the passing of the torch from one generation to the next.

The medallions are two-sided, with a 3D image on one side and our bronze logo on the back. Each medallion is manufacturer-numbered for authenticity and quality.

The term "Fifun Imole" is the African Yoruba word for "Giving Light or 'Passing The Torch'."

Only 75 lapel pins and 75 commemorative medallions were commissioned for the anniversary. Items can be mailed or arrangements made for local delivery.

Price:
- Lapel Pins: $25.00 Each
- Commemorative Medallion: $50.00 Each
- Both Items: $65.00 (lapel pin and medallion)

✨ Exciting Fundraising Opportunity for Our Community! ✨

The Virginia Black History Month Association (VaBHMA) is excited to announce a new partnership with Pageglobal that allows you to support our mission while saving thousands for your business or organization.

For every new copier, printer, or scanner sold or leased, Pageglobal will donate $500 directly to VaBHMA to help us continue celebrating, preserving, and promoting Black History and culture across Virginia.

Pageglobal currently has 110 Konica Minolta C656 copiers (and other models) available — many brand-new and still in the box — at significantly reduced pricing. These high-quality copier/printer/scanner systems are perfect for small businesses, nonprofits, offices, churches, and larger organizations.

📦 The units are already in the warehouse and ready for delivery to your home or business.

This means you can:
✔️ Upgrade your office equipment
✔️ Save thousands of dollars
✔️ Help support the important work of VaBHMA

To participate, simply use our special code when purchasing so the discount is applied and VaBHMA receives the $500 donation.

Together, we can turn everyday business needs into meaningful community support. ❤️

If you or someone you know is looking for a copier, printer, or scanner, please reach out and share this opportunity!

You can contact Dan Wheeler at (443) 829-5215 or by email at [email protected]
