The Ques did it again! The brothers of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc, Xi Tau Chapter held their fourth annual Strike Out on Saturday, March 29, at the Timbers Bowling Lane, and presented a scholarship check to Leila’s Promise, an organization dedicated to empowering young people to make a difference.
Leila’s Promise was founded by Leila Nazarene Harris to give to those in need. Leila’s giving attitude began at the tender age of four when she asked her parents to give to those in need rather than buying her Christmas presents. Now at the ripe old age of 12, Leila has inspired other young people to work with her to give, lead and make an impact.
“You don’t have to have a lot of money, you don’t have to be a certain age, all you have to do is have a heart and desire to do what the Lord called us to do,” said Toledo City Councilman John Hobbs, III, a member of the Xi Tau Chapter and the host of the donation ceremony.
On Saturday, the Ques raised $1,000 to help Leila make a difference as they, along with their families and assorted members and families of the Devine Nine, enjoyed an afternoon of bowling and fellowship at Timber Bowling Lane.
Leila was not able to be present for the award since she and her family are traveling out of the country, but a representative read notes from her thanking the brothers of Omega Psi Phi “for all you do in the community” while adding that “it only takes a little to make a difference.”
