The Board and membership of the Kennard Alumni Association would like to thank all of you that have supported our events over the years, which has led to the creation of The Kennard African Heritage Cultural Heritage Center and Museum and its programs to support the youth and adults of Queen Anne’s County.  Thank you also for helping to support Kennard’s Scholarship Program, which has provided assistance to over 50 minority and underserved students over the past 20 years.   “Thank You” for helping us work toward achieving our mission and creating a legacy of inclusion, diversity, and support for our young people.

Thank you to our sponsors, including QACTV, Shore United Bank, Queenstown Bank, and the Queen Anne’s County Cigarette Restitution Fund Program.
