"I never dreamed . . . " -  Frederick B. Abramson
As a distinguished member of the Washington legal community, Frederick B. Abramson was a private practitioner, and served as President of the District of Columbia Bar and Bar Counsel to the Board on Professional Responsibility of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Growing up in Harlem, he received a scholarship to Yale University and graduated from the University of Chicago Law School.

Fred never forgot his roots or how crucial education was to his success. During his professional life he became a mentor and role model to courageous young people pursuing their dreams of education. After his untimely death, friends and colleagues sought to honor his memory and continue his commitment to young people by creating the Frederick B. Abramson Memorial Foundation.

The Frederick B. Abramson Foundation is a college access program which was created to mentor and give scholarships to graduating seniors from the D.C. public school system. Many of the scholarship recipients need the funds in order to fulfill their educational dreams. The scholars have overcome extraordinary circumstances to graduate from high school with solid academic standing and be accepted into college. It is time for the brokerage community to invest in D.C.'s youth and see a return on the investment.

The Brokerage Challenge is a goal to get each of the brokerage firms in the DC. Metropolitan area to sponsor one scholarship recipient at the $2,500 level. This investment in a D.C. graduating senior provides the following opportunities:

  • Financial investment in a young person with indefinite potential
  • Mentoring the scholar throughout the first year of college
  • Provide a summer internship for the scholar
  • Facilitate access to opportunities in the community

INVESTMENT
Sponsorship at the $2,500 level will provide you with the opportunity to have your firm name attached to a promising young scholar:
  • Your firm's name will appear on all written materials for the Abramson Foundation and the Stock & Bond Clubs' websites.
  • You will have the opportunity to attend the scholarship awards ceremony from 12 noon to 2 P.M. on June 13th at the Hotel Washington across the street from the United States Treasury Department. Susan Kidd, news anchor on NBC4, will be the Master of Ceremonies. You will be able to meet the scholarship recipients, their families, and make a real connection with them. You will make a difference in their future.
    There will be a press conference to follow at the National Press Club.
