Please Join the Roses and Violets Charitable Campaign DREF’s Tribute to Mothers!

May flowers and Springtime herald the time of year when we pay tribute to mothers.

Mother’s Day is a special time to honor and remember women who have raised, shaped, mentored, loved and influenced us. Whether biological, adopted, or surrogate, we salute them.

The Delta Research and Educational Foundation (DREF) presents the 2024 Roses and Violets Charitable Campaign. The campaign was named after two very beautiful flowers. Roses symbolize love, admiration and friendship. The violet, which is near and dear to Deltas, symbolizes loyalty, faith and inspiration. These flowers represent the attributes of mothers and mother figures.

We invite you to honor and remember mothers, who have also created possibilities and given life, by donating to share virtually: a spoken word tribute, and poem by Dawn Nash Rutland and musical selection by national recording artist, Lori A. Williams. Contributors will also hear a special message from DREF Executive Director Karla M. Green.

Donations will be accepted until May 10, 2024
