MORE THAN A BANQUET.
October 17, 2026

It's more than a dinner. More than a program. More than one evening.

The Sanford (Lee County) NAACP Freedom Fund Banquet is an opportunity for our community to come together around something bigger.

To honor the legacy that brought us here.
To recognize the people doing the work today.
And to invest in the work that still lies ahead.

When you see community initiatives, advocacy, education, civic engagement and opportunities to connect residents with resources—that work requires people who believe enough in the mission to support it.

That's what makes the Freedom Fund important.
On Saturday, October 17, we invite Sanford and Lee County to gather with us as we celebrate where we've been and look toward where we're going.

💙 Honor the legacy.
💛 Support the work.
🤝 Invest in the future.

SANFORD, WE'RE LISTENING.
We can plan programs. We can organize events. We can create resources.

But strong community work also requires something very simple:
Listening.

So today, we want to hear from YOU.
What issues are affecting you, your family, your neighborhood or our community?

What conversations should we be having?
What resources would you like to see brought to Sanford and Lee County?

What would make you more likely to get involved?
👇🏾 Tell us in the comments or send us a private message.
There are no perfect answers. We simply want to hear from the people we serve.
Because community work should never happen without the community.

💙💛 We're listening.
