Dear Blackcellence Family,
I hope this message finds you well. As the founder of Blackcellence Network, I wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news with you—news that reflects the incredible growth and impact we’ve achieved together over the past three years.
Whether you’ve been with us since our inaugural gala or have joined us more recently, we are deeply grateful for your support and involvement in our vibrant and inspiring community.
Our mission has always been to celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions of Black individuals within Saskatchewan. Our dedication to diversity, inclusion, and engagement has guided our journey, and we remain committed to honoring the rich array of cultures and traditions within our province.
Today, I am thrilled to announce that Blackcellence Network is expanding to a larger platform that will allow us to highlight and connect the achievements of the Black community in Saskatchewan on a global scale. While our annual gala will continue as a cornerstone of our efforts, we are also launching additional programs and opportunities that will have a lasting societal impact. These new initiatives will include various events and collaborations that invite community participation and engagement.
Over the past few years, we have been fortunate to raise over $5,000 through our gala proceeds to support various nonprofit organizations within our Saskatchewan community. This achievement is a testament to the unwavering support of our dedicated Board members, sponsors, local businesses, community partners, and volunteers.
As we move forward, we remain committed to the original vision of Blackcellence Network: celebrating the successes of Black individuals in Saskatchewan and reinvesting in our community. Our focus continues to be on building community capacity through stronger relationships, organizational partnerships, and investments in our local community.
We invite you to be a part of our dynamic family by partnering with us, volunteering, or making a direct donation to our organization. Your involvement is crucial to our mission of uplifting, empowering, and making a meaningful difference in our community.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for your continued support. Together, let’s continue to celebrate excellence and drive positive change.

Thank you once again for being an essential part of Blackcellence Network!
